Kurt Fearnley is a Paralympic gold medalist, corporate speaker and author.

Being born without the lower portion of his spine has never held him back. Some major achievements include crawling the Kokoda Track raising awareness and funding for men’s health charity Movember and Beyond Blue, crewing a winning Sydney to Hobart yacht and winning dozens of marathons around the world.

It wasn’t until his teenage years that Kurt turned his attention to wheelchair sports. He kicked off his career with two silver medals at the 2000 Sydney Paralympic games, and the rest as they say is history.

He is a passionate disability advocate and devotes himself to multiple charitable initiatives, not only Hunter-based but nationally as well.

Kurt has been recognized for multiple awards and honours over the years due to his achievements both in an out of sport. The most recent being 2019 NSW Australian of the Year.

Interviewed by Holly Martin, founder of Hunter Headline and Chief Marketer at The Marketing GP.
