Lucy began her adventures with a supposedly one off 250km race across the Sahara in memory of her father in 2008, raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. Alongside raising thousands of pounds this also ignited a passion for travel, adventure, sport and adventure.
That led to becoming the first European woman to complete the 4 Desert Grand Slam, running 250km self supported across the Atacama, Gobi, Sahara and Antarctica in 9 months, in temperatures ranging from 45c down to -25c, in 2010.
She is currently attempting to climb The 7 Summits, the highest peak on each continent. Having successfully made the summit of Mt Everest in May 2018, Lucy is one summit (Mt Vinson) away from becoming the first woman in the world to complete both the 4 Desert Grand Slam and The 7 Summits. She has currently raised over £70k for Macmillan which continues to support.
Lucy will talk about her adventures and encourage all students to push themselves to follow their dream, however big or small. How to over come any obstacle in their way, embrace resilience, push themselves and live their life to the fullest.
Lucy is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
