Dale has just completed a 5000km handcycle ride from Melbourne to Darwin and raised over $60,000 for children in Kenya suffering from club foot.
He left Melbourne on the 17th Feb 2010 and arrived in Darwin on the 7th June 2010.
He is feeling very fit!
Book Dale to speak at your event and hear about this challenge and how he managed to push himself to the limits while pushing to Darwin!
Dale ‘The D’ Elliott is not one to sit down and take life as it comes. As a commercial pilot, business entrepreneur, award winning comedy performer and extreme sport master, Dale lives and breathes his message.
He does this all from his mobile launch pad commonly called a ‘wheelchair’.
In 2002 ‘The D’ became a paraplegic after a freak motorbike accident broke his spine. After spending only 60 days of his planned 150 days in hospital Dale was back at work!
Dale put his knowledge as a commercial pilot and licenced aircraft engineer to good use but realised he still had energy to burn. He needed something more, he felt an extreme desire to challenge himself again.
On the 24th of October 2008, The D became the first paraplegic in Australia & New Zealand to free fall skydive solo and land unassisted.
Extreme D is as extreme as it gets!
