In this powerful episode of The People of Brisbane, Trevor Evans meets with Sal Powell – a Brisbane Mum who just became the first Australian to complete the 5 Desert Grand Slam Plus. In an incredible achievement, Sal has completed 5 ultramarathons across 5 deserts, covering more than 1,000kms in just one year. Trevor asked her about the challenges she encountered and overcame, what it's like running across the world's toughest terrain, and the journey that got her here. 

Sal has been Racing The Planet for the Nerve Connection Foundation. Find more about Sal's story and how to donate here.
