ABOUT ME. 

I’m Jonny Huntington, a former member of the British Army who survived a brain bleed in 2014 which caused left-sided paralysis from the neck down.

 

Following my initial rehab, I’ve spent the last decade intensively training and working to manage the neurological damage. It’s helped show me that anything is possible with self-belief.

 

Now through mentoring, public speaking and leading by example, I’m driven to encourage people to step out of their comfort zone and see where it leads them. 

 

My post-military life has evolved from studying as a sports scientist to representing GB as a para cross-country skier and becoming a global adventurer. 

 

It’s led to the upcoming challenge that is my greatest yet, undertaking a world-first South Pole expedition where I’ll attempt to become the first disabled person to reach the South Pole solo.

 

Only 51 people in history have travelled solo to the South Pole and in December 2024, I will ski more than 900 kilometres unsupported through Antarctica in temperatures as low as minus 40 degrees celsius.

​

Taking on extreme challenges isn’t just for my own sense of achievement, it presents an opportunity to inspire people to overcome their personal challenges. 

 

I’d love you to be part of the journey, whether that’s becoming an expedition partner, or simply helping spread the message that it’s time to step outside of the comfort zone and see where that leads you too. 

 

Working together we can instil the purpose and confidence to achieve any goal.
