Personal Perspective Gallery

When things are not going well I look to this trio to put things in perspective. I should be able to handle much lesser situtations than them.



On December 13th, 2006 Danelle Ballengee fell sixty feet while trail running in Moab, UT. Fifty-two hours later her dog,

Taz, led Grand County Search and Rescue personnel to her location. Danelle suffered several fractures to

her pelvic bone, sacrum and lower vertebrae. 150 days after this she finished a 60 mile Adventure race.


Paralysed from the chest down and confined to a wheelchair, ex-professional yachtsman Geoffery Holt will sail over 1,600 miles around Great Britain in an inspirational Challenge that will take in excess of 50 days to complete. The Personal Everest Challenge will be exactly that, Geoff’s own Personal Everest.


Bear Grylls 3 years in the SAS, parachuting accident broke his back in 3 places. Youngest Brit to climb Everest. Led RIB Expedition across North Atlantic. TV projects Escape to the Legion and Man Vs. Wild. Bear breaks new world record by becoming the first man to fly a powered paraglider above the summit of Mt Everest.
