n September of 2011, Turia Pitt, a beautiful 25 year old mining engineer and ex-model was working and loving life in the far north of Western Australia, when she entered an ultramarathon that would change her life forever. Trapped by a fierce grassfire in a gorge of the remote Kimberley, Turia and five other competitors had nowhere left to run. Turia escaped with severe burns to 65% of her body. Following an induced coma, numerous skin grafts from international donors (Turia had too little unburned skin of her own left for grafts), life threatening infections and operations, Turia’s story of survival, coupled with the sincere grace and gratitude in which she conducts her day-to-day, is a true testament to the power of the mind. Today, Turia is an athlete, humanitarian, motivational speaker, author, entrepreneur and recently announced as 2016 Australian of the Year finalist. After having completed an Ironman in prestigious KONA last month, Turia shows no sign of slowing down. We spoke with Turia Pitt about the untapped potential of the mind.
