Chris Moon is internationally recognized for his remarkable resilience and determination. After serving as an army officer and deminer in Cambodia and Mozambique, he lost a leg and a hand to a landmine, an event that could easily have ended his story rather than opened the chapter he’s now best known for. His life story, marked by courage and service, motivates audiences around the world to face adversity and reinvent themselves with optimism, a message that lands differently coming from someone who has actually lived through the worst version of it.
Chris Moon has devoted his life to improving the conditions of landmine victims, actively participating in fundraising and awareness campaigns, often returning to the same communities his work first grew out of. He has run marathons in London, New York, Mozambique, and Phnom Penh, raising funds for prosthetics and rehabilitation programs, work that has continued for decades rather than tapering off after the initial attention faded. His greatest achievement was completing the Marathon des Sables in the Sahara, as the first amputee to participate, raising significant funds for the Red Cross, a feat that drew attention to landmine victims well beyond the running community. His work serves as a model of leadership, resilience, and solidarity internationally.
Chris Moon’s talks are characterized by inspiration, honesty, and relatability, despite the scale of what he’s actually lived through. Through his personal experience, he shares lessons on leadership, motivation, and wellbeing, emphasizing perseverance, empathy, and overcoming limits, themes that land as lived experience rather than borrowed advice. His speeches impact companies, institutions, and social organizations, motivating audiences to develop resilience in the face of adversity, whatever form that adversity happens to take for them.
An inspiring account of his journey as a deminer, landmine survivor, and athlete, with key messages on resilience and leadership, told without the polish of a typical survival story.
Strategies and practical lessons for finding meaning, motivation, and wellbeing in the face of extreme challenges, drawn from someone who has genuinely been there and rebuilt a life on the other side.
Reflections on his work supporting landmine victims, the value of service, and the importance of helping those in need, informed by decades of staying involved rather than moving on.
