Chris Moon Motivational After Dinner Speaker
Chris challenges the concept of limitation. He is a former army officer who worked for a charity specializing in clearing landmines and the debris of war in Asia and Africa and is one of the few westerners to have survived kidnap in Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge, negotiating not only his own release, but also that of his two Khmer staff after an ordeal of threatened execution in which he never assumed the role of victim. In Mozambique he was blown up walking in a supposedly cleared area resulting in the loss of his lower right arm and leg. He survived through sheer determination and fitness.
Less than a year after leaving hospital he completed the London Marathon and subsequently many of the toughest ultra-marathons in the world to support charities assisting the disabled. He is the first amputee to finish the Great Sahara Run and the Badwater 135 mile Death Valley Ultra (5 marathons back to back), which takes place in temperatures close to those recommended for slow cooking chicken. His methods for transforming adversity and disadvantage into challenge and achievement and going the extra mile are relevant to us all. He believes we can all go one step beyond our limits and challenge our own concept of limitation. Chris Moon is also a successful businessman having set up a small company, MTB (Making The Best- his philosophy in life) which solves problems in the fields of human resources and security management. Chris Moon has featured in many newspaper and magazine articles and often broadcasts on television and radio. He was recently interviewed on the Parkinson Show and his autobiography One Step Beyond (published by Macmillan) has been highly acclaimed.
