Jamie McDonald, known as Adventureman, is an extreme adventurer and motivational speaker. He has inspired audiences with his engaging talks, sharing his journey of overcoming challenges to become a real-life superhero. Jamie holds two world records for endurance feats: the Greatest Treadmill Distance in 7 Days and the Longest Time Spent on a Static Bike, with a total of 224 hours and 24 minutes.
His adventures include a solo run across the USA, which involved completing 210 marathons, an unsupported cycle from Bangkok to Gloucester, and a coast-to-coast run across Canada. Jamie undertakes these challenges to raise funds for charities that have supported him throughout his life.
From a young age, Jamie faced medical complications, which he has turned into a source of strength. As a speaker, he helps others overcome their own obstacles and build resilience. His talks, whether virtual or in-person, aim to reignite a passion for life, providing audiences with tools to thrive through personal stories of adversity and motivation.
Jamie's presentations are both entertaining and impactful, leaving a lasting impression. He has published a best-selling book, "Adventureman: Anyone Can Be A Superhero," and founded the Superhero Foundation, which supports children with illnesses.
To date, Jamie has raised over £1 million for charity and received the Pride of Britain accolade for Fundraiser of the Year in 2019.
