When it comes to inspirational speakers real-life superhero Jamie McDonald not only overcame his own childhood illness but went on to complete some of the most ambitious and physically gruelling challenges ever attempted.
These painstaking journeys helped him give back to the hospitals that helped him, whilst also raising money for sick children through his charity, Superhero Foundation – winning the Pride of Britain for ‘Fundraiser of the Year’.
Jamie’s challenges have included a 14,000-mile bike ride from Bangkok to Gloucester on a secondhand push bike, running 5000 miles across Canada, as well as completing 210 marathons around America – all completely solo.
During these feats, Jamie encountered many obstacles, such as frostbite, mountain lions and monsoons, but overcame the lot to achieve his goals. He has now raised over a million pounds for charity.
As if that wasn’t enough, he has also cycled for 12 days without stopping on a static bike and spent 7 days running on a treadmill, with only 3 hours sleep per night! This feat saw him enter the Guinness Book of Records for covering the longest ever distance in that time.
If there’s an inspirational speaker who holds the secret to resilience; it’s Adventureman.
Jamie’s efforts to push the boundaries of what the human body can achieve and his tireless fundraising for sick children make him the perfect representation of what an inspirational speaker should be.

“We flew Jamie around Great Britain to visit all of our offices’, he has a hugely entertaining story and is one of great personal endeavour; his tenacity in achieving his goals and in overcoming barriers is inspirational.

“WARNING! Box of tissues required! So funny and so very inspiring! The perfect start to our staff conference. Endless echoing feedback like: extremely touching, makes you remember why you do what you do.”
“I nearly fell off my chair, hilarious and inspiring”
“Having booked countless inspirational speakers before and feeling the pressure of running the biggest business award show held in the UK, booking Jamie is without doubt the best decision I’ve ever made. His passionate delivery of an innovative talk had over 800 esteemed guests hanging off his every word. Through a technically flawless and authentic presentation, he inspired the audience repeatedly – moving them from raucous laughter, to tears. The best thing about Jamie is that he doesn’t realise just how good he is. Never before have I had the pleasure of dealing with an inspirational speaker who is so talented, and yet so down to earth. I wouldn’t hesitate to book him again”
“Jamie provoked laughter, tears, shock, more laughter and transmitted a whole chunk of pride and self-esteem to a room full of police staff and inspectors, very inspirational and uplifting story telling”
“His self-depreciating humour went down a storm and Jamie had an enormous impact on our soldiers. Very inspiring”
“That’s probably one of the most difficult audiences you’ll ever get with so many different cultural backgrounds. The standing ovation was deserved and showed how you connected with every single person. We’ve seen a lot of inspirational speakers and you’re the real deal”
“After listening to your talk something happened in my heart that hasn’t happened since the passing of my 8 year old son almost 9 years ago. I went to the cabinet where I keep the things that remind me of my son. There I found a beaded alligator which my son made whilst in hospital. At the time he gave it to me and said “here mommy, this one is for you, so you will never be alone.” The second is a medal the hospital gave him for being a hero. After hearing you speak, I now want you to have both of these things. The alligator because I don’t want you to ever feel like you’re alone on your adventures, and the gold medal because you are my hero”
“We googled ‘Superhero’ and that’s exactly what we found. We’d like to adopt him as our inspirational speaker a few weeks each year and bring him back to Canada”
“I’ve worked with the company for more than 10 years and it was the best inspirational speakers we’ve ever had. So down to earth and effortless to connect with. A well deserved standing ovation. Thank you for the inspiration”
