Bio
Adventurer, fundraiser and multiple Guinness World Record holder Jamie McDonald – aka Adventureman – is renowned as one of the most gifted inspirational speakers on the planet.
When it comes to UK motivational speakers, Jamie McDonald is an expert and is making a huge impact on people’s lives around the world. After overcoming serious illness as a child, Jamie wanted to give back to the hospitals that had helped him and raise money to help sick children overcome their illness.
In 2012, Jamie bought a second-hand bike and set off on his first superhero adventure – a 14,000-mile ride from Bangkok back to Gloucester! As if that wasn’t enough, Jamie then embarked on a run across Canada, following in the footsteps of Canadian fundraising hero, Terry Fox. Jamie has also completed a gruelling 210 marathon run around America.
During these challenges Jamie faced huge obstacles and some incredibly dangerous situations – from losing the end of his nose from frostbite, to a close escape from a mountain lion! Despite these often-hostile circumstances, Jamie remained motivated and determined to complete the challenges ahead of him, which is what makes him such an fantastic UK motivational speaker.
Even when he is not running or cycling around the world, being in one place doesn’t stop Jamie – he has broken world records and raised money for charity by staying in one spot.
Jamie has completed a 12-day static bike ride without stopping and entered the Guinness book of records for covering a distance of over 524 miles in 7 days, running on a treadmill. That’s emotional and physical endurance that no man or woman has ever gone before.
Over the years, Jamie has raised over one million pounds for sick children so far through his charity, Superhero Foundation and recently he won the ITV‘s Pride of Britain, one of the most prestigious honours and awards in the country.
Listening to Jamie talk about the challenges he has faced and how he remains so positive and determined, will motivate anyone, and stir up the energy and excitement needed in achieving big personal and business goals.
Jamie connects with the audience and his boundless energy and courage in the face of adversity, inspires listeners to believe in themselves, build resilience and to keep going, despite what obstacles may be in their path.

“Fantastic virtual session from Jamie McDonald, as ever! Incredible feedback from the staff many of whom included family members in the session. Was superb to see everyone having such fun, albeit remotely, and some wonderful dance moves by many! For any business, I would highly recommend using Jamie this way to tell his unique and inspiring stories of resilience and coping strategies in difficult and challenging times”
