Sally Orange MBE is a former British Army Major, multi-record-breaking adventure athlete, passionate mental health campaigner and inspirational speaker.
Sally is the only person on the planet to complete a marathon on every continent dressed as different pieces of fruit. She has completed 8 full triathlons and 82 marathons (including 7 marathons on 7 continents in 7 consecutive days). She has cycled in the 3000+ mile Race Across America (RAAM) and cycled the length of New Zealand and of Britain on 3 separate occasions. She has run the toughest footrace on earth, in the Sahara Desert, and run the length of Iceland. She has also rowed and swum the English Channel. She holds 6 Guinness World Records and 4 Invictus Games medals.
Sally served as a physiotherapist in the British Army for 22 years, including a tour of duty in Afghanistan treating severely injured casualties, and has volunteered for over 30 years, raising more than £800,000 for 50 charities. When she’s not undertaking record-breaking endurance achievements (often dressed in thoughtfully chosen costumes to raise a smile and start conversations around mental health), Sally is the focus of inspirational speaking engagements, attended by audiences of all ages. Everyone is captivated by the modest, engaging and approachable way she shares the mental health and resilience learnings she has gathered from a career in the British Army and decades of volunteering and undertaking gruelling physical challenges all over the world.
