DR BLIND DAVE HEELEY
The first and only blind person in the world to have completed the ultimate endurance challenge 7 marathons in 7 days on 7 continents. As if this wasn’t enough in 2011 he became the first and only person to have completed John’ O’ Groats to Lands end with a difference! 10 marathons in 10 days and 100’s of miles of cycling.
Blind Dave has a unique way of delivering his motivational speeches, with intense passion that leaves you with an incredible humbling feeling that makes you question yourselves, to the point where you leave the room feeling that nothing is impossible.
The challenges themselves are fantastic adventures to listen to, but coupled with Dave’s humour and immense enthusiasm for life and the emotional challenge of living with blindness it can’t help but bring smiles, tears and motivation from the audience
“We had been told that you were an inspirational speaker but had no idea just how enlightening, humbling and invigorating your words would be” Deb Brownlee
