Stefan Danis ran the gobi Desert in 2009 and came in as the first Canadian and first in his age group. Stefan ran for the unemployed and donated complete proceeds of his run (>$40,000) to NABS. Seeing how the economy has not turned yet, Stefan will run again in March 2010, this time in the Chilean Atacama Desert. Stefan has spoken on the topic of overcoming adversity to many organizations in Ontario and Quebec and will continue to present his experience and lessons learned to organizations upon request. The attached presentation details Stefan's presentation overview and provides feedback from attendees.
