“Marathon des Sables – A Type 1 Diabetes Adventure”
A True Story of Grit, Sand, and Survival
Join us for a powerful presentation that follows Alex Williams, an Australian adventurer diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at 17, as he takes on the legendary Marathon des Sables — a 250 km ultra-marathon across the scorching Sahara Desert.
From volcanic eruptions to desert storms, Alex’s journey is packed with unexpected twists, global travel, and the daily challenge of managing diabetes in one of the harshest environments on Earth.
Hear how resilience, preparation, and a never-give-up attitude turned a diagnosis into a life of adventure.
