Fran Hurndall knows what it means to chase the impossible. In 2025, she became the fastest woman to run across Australia, 3,800km in 60 days, a journey that tested every physical and mental limit, fuelled by a mission far greater than herself.

In 2023, she made history by dribbling a football 1,000km during the FIFA Women’s World Cup becoming the first person to do so and raising thousands for women in sport and earning a Guinness World Record. But in 2024, her life shifted when she learned her sister had been suffering in a domestic violence relationship, a truth that brought the issue painfully close to home. It was this revelation, combined with her mother’s own experience, that lit a fire in Fran to use her platform to break the silence and inspire change.

A former Arsenal Academy and England youth footballer, Fran has now raised over $100,000 for charity and sparked national conversations on resilience, courage, and advocacy. Featured across SBS News, The Australian Women’s Weekly, The Sunday Times, and A Current Affair with Deborah Knight, Fran’s story is one of grit, vulnerability, and unstoppable determination.

Her keynotes inspire audiences to believe in their own strength, embrace discomfort, and turn adversity into purpose.
