Donna Campisi is an adventurer at heart. After creating her own campaign ‘Run Donna Run’ to inspire and encourage people that ‘there’s no such thing as can’t…’ she is now an inspiring speaker, author, adventurer, podcaster, marathoner, and a highly skilled Coach - inspiring many with her group adventure challenges and one-on-one coaching, and ‘go do it’ attitude, those who work with her are achieving their big goals too!
Lucky to be alive, doctors predicted Donna would never walk or talk again, after surviving a stroke and other serious complications at seven years of age. Later at fourteen, Donna faced another challenge, in another critical condition, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes.
Donna then created her own major challenge. Only able to run 30 tentative steps in November 2012, she challenged herself to complete a marathon in October 2013, this is where the ‘Run Donna Run’ campaign began, inspiring many.
Donna is a passionate woman, encouraging audiences to follow their dreams, and bring back their confidence, independence, strength, courage and self-belief that they CAN achieve and get over their finish line.
Her contagious positive attitude and highly engaging manner bring warmth, laughter and a mix of emotions to an audience when hearing her speak.
