Ben Cryan achieved the unachievable.

In January 2011, Ben Cryan was what many of you would call the typical 31-year-old Aussie. However, his life changed in an instant when his dream surfing holiday turned into an epic journey of its own accord after falling from his surfboard onto a coral reef. What followed was nothing short of a miracle, with three medical evacuations, 34 operations, two strokes, a kidney transplant and being told he would never walk again. Ben’s strength and determination have not only seen him walk again, but back in the water surfing and running with a new perspective on life that only such tales of survival can provide.

Ben’s story relates to an expansive audience, whether it’s a sporting team, the corporate environment or a company wide conference. His inner strength, courage and never say no attitude through adversity is credit to his character and there is certainly something in this story for everyone!

Ben’s story is about finding out what we all are capable of achieving. It touches on the importance of family and friends and inspires all to never give up in anything we do.
