Warren Macdonald became trapped beneath a one tonne slab of rock while climbing Queensland's Hinchcliffe Island. Two days later he was rescued only to have both legs were amputated. Ten months later he climbed Tasmania's Cradle Mountain using a modified wheelchair and the seat of his pants. In 1999 he reached the summit of Federation Peak on an epic 4 week journey using a pair of prosthetic legs. He delivers a strong matter-of-fact message that has been called a wake up call for those feeling beaten, helping us put our own difficulties into perspective by showing us that the key to positive change is within us all if we want to find it.
Warren inspires audiences to believe in themselves, demonstrating through action that "nothing is impossible if we dare to face our fears and believe in ourselves." That achieving success requires taking positive steps forward, and that each step we take, no matter how small, moves us closer to our goals. His life is an perfect example of recognizing change as an opportunity to transform our lives and turn negatives into positives.
