Chris Moon
Chris’s life and exploits have been covered in a Discovery documentary ‘I Shouldn’t Be Alive.’
Chris is a former British Army Officer with three year’s operational experience who left to work for a charity clearing landmines. He survived being taken prisoner in Cambodia by the Khmer Rouge (one of the most brutal terror groups in history) and negotiated his release and that of two colleagues from threatened execution.
Chris was blown up while clearing a minefield in remote East Africa losing an arm and a leg. Chris taught himself to run and is thought to be the world’s first amputee ultra-distance runner after completing the 135 mile Marathon De Sables in 1997, the world’s toughest ultra-marathon. Chris is an expert in human behaviour and speaks with enthusiasm and humour on Resilience, Change, Personal and Strategic Leadership and all aspects of Behavioural Choices.
