I am very honored to have on board Ray Zahab. Ray is living proof that we can achieve anything we like. 
In a short amount of time Ray went from a late 30s pack a day smoker living a party lifestyle to compete and win some of the most extreme races on the planet.
These races include world’s toughest foot race – the Marathon des Sables where he has competed twice.
The Trans 333, a 333 kilometre, non-stop foot-race in desert conditions.
Jungle marathons, Badwater Ultra, the list goes on..
Perhaps Ray is most famous for his Sahara expedition in which he raced across the entire Sahara desert 4300 miles non stop. He averaged 2 marathons a DAY every day for 111 days in extreme desert conditions through six countries. Not even a day off! He and his team made history by becoming the first people to do this. In doing so they became aware of the water situation that the African people face every day. To highlight this Ray and his team teamed up with actor Matt Damon who produced the documentary film about running across the Sahara. They also set up a charity for helping people have clean water, they raise there money from film sales so please order your copy from this website.
For information about the charity please visit this website: H2oAfrica
What could be better than helping people have fresh clean water just by watching a inspiring film!
Ray isn’t just a runner though, quite from it. In 2008 Ray set up impossible2Possible (i2P) an organization that aims to inspire and educate youth through adventure learning, and inclusion and participation in expeditions.
In January 2009 Ray and two other Canadians broke the world speed record from Hercules Inlet to the South Pole. Ray went that extra bit further and became the first person to reach the 1130km trek to the South Pole on foot! Ray and his team were motivated by children back home who used Ray’s website to communicate with them while on expedition. This allowed a two way system of Ray and his team being motivated by messages of support and they themselves having the ability to inspire the people following there progress.
Since them Ray and become a international speaker featuring at big events including TED.
