Ascending more than sixteen thousand vertical meters, almost twice the height of Everest, his purpose was to raise support for Sabrina Foundation who care for children with special needs and to inspire people to realize that nothing we are facing is ever too big to overcome.This was the first in an ongoing series of solo ultra-endurance challenges, each of which take place in a dangerous setting with intensely challenging physical objectives and natural threats including unpredictable weather, altitude, steep mountain passes and dangerous wildlife.As a teenager, Jamie overcame his own giant of substance abuse and believes that sport and hard training changed his life and gave him a reason for living.‘Stress and depression are among the leading causes of death, but exercise is one of the simplest and most effective cures there is. Exercise can literally save your life.’He believes that ‘the body follows where the mind leads’ and inspires people to believe in themselves and face the giants in their lives through motivational talks about the life-changing power of sport and the secrets of accessing superhuman strength.Born in 1976, he attended school in the city of East London before relocating back to Cape Town where he was born and currently resides with his wife and three children.weniger sehen
