Who is
Mark Inglis?

Between losing his legs at 23 years old due to frostbite and then going on to be the only double amputee to have stood on the roof of the world, the summit of Mount Everest, Mark has carved out careers as a scientist, a world recognised winemaker, business innovator, a paralympic athlete, trekking guide, philanthropist and a leading International Motivator.

 

As the only double amputee who has stood on the summit of Mt Everest, who else can truly define the often used saying, “Attitude determines your altitude”
