The Sparks Series – Alex Staniforth  Achieving your Everest.

  • This event has passed.

Join us to be inspired

Aged just 22, Alex Staniforth is a record-breaking adventurer, inspirational speaker and author. He has already made two attempts to climb to the top of Mount Everest. Now he is dedicated to inspiring others to overcome their own ‘Everest’ in life.

Alex is no stranger to adversity: overcoming epilepsy, stammering and bullying in earlier life. More recently he has openly suffered mental illness including depression, anxiety and an eating disorder. Through his story Alex is a compelling example that obstacles are an opportunity to win.
