Motivational speaker, Bonita Norris, is one of the UK’s leading adventurers. She went from novice climber to the world’s highest peak in just two years having raised significant sponsorship in order to secure her place.  She has since taken on some of the toughest expeditions possible. Bonita has skied to the North Pole, led charity teams, and climbed a total of five Himalayan peaks—three of which are over 8000m high. In 2017 her book, The Girl Who Climbed Everest, was published.

Bonita has co-hosted television coverage of the Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series. She is also an ambassador for several charities. A youth ambassador for many education institutions, and previously nominated Cosmopolitan Woman of The Year, Bonita represents a perfect example of what it is possible to achieve with enough determination.
