Entertainment

Following eight years in the British army, Sir Ranulph embarked on a career that would inspire many. As far back as 1984, he was recognised by the Guinness Book of World Records as the greatest living explorer and that accolade continues to stand by his name today.

He hasn't slowed down and in 2009, and at the age of 65 he summited Mt Everest to become the oldest Briton to achieve the feat. This is made all the more remarkable considering he underwent emergency bypass surgery in 2003 following a heart attack.

His long list of achievements includes the Transglobe Expedition where he joined a crew to navigate the world on its polar axis using only surface transport. He also became the first person to visit the North and South Poles on service and to cross Antarctica by foot.

A leader, adventurer, and legend, Sir Ranulph has defied logic and defied the odds to emerge as one of the most inspirational speakers around. His speeches, as you would expect are authoritative as well as awe-inspiring, and he has staked his claim as one of the most sought-after names on the speaking circuit.

Not only have his exploration achievements seen him establish widespread fanfare, but his pursuits have also seen him earn considerable amounts for charity. Supporting the likes of Marie Curie, Seeing is Believing and the British Heart Foundation, Sir Ranulph has raised over £14 million for charity to date. He is, as a result, the UK's top celebrity fundraiser on JustGiving.

His story can concentrate on a range of underlying themes, from overcoming adversity to reaching peak performance. Having failed to reach the summit of Mt Everest two times previously, Sir Ranulph's never-give-up attitude has served as motivation for explorers and successful people for many years.
