Hello beautiful people

In 2007, at just 41, Heather was diagnosed with Stage 1 Ovarian Cancer. Providing what she terms a ‘second chance at life’, this awakened her adventurous spirit that had been lying dormant in her former years. Now, she shares, is not the time to be wasted. At the age of 47 she participated in her first running event, a 4km park run, which unbeknownst to her was the beginning of a journey that would take her to now having completed over forty marathons and eight ultra-marathons. A mum of 2, she trekked 1,700km over 152 days along the Great Himalaya Trail in Nepal with her two adult children, and is currently part of a group of 10 who are running a virtual race around the world that spreads 50,000km of foot steps between them. An Ambassador for organisations such as Ovarian Cancer Australia, CanToo and the Indigenous Marathon Foundation, Heather places purpose and importance on raising awareness in conjunction with her adventures.

In this conversation with Heather she shares insight into how the lowest times in our lives can be real turning points in who we choose to become, and that in those moments we need to choose to be brave. She challenges us to embody resilience, determination and perseverance in those endeavors of achievement that we seek, but not without passion, presence and a positive mindset along the journey. All our failures have ever been, she shares, are learning experiences and through that she encourages us that no matter what is sent our way in life, allow ourselves to receive it in the form of gratitude.
