Jason Lewis is an award-winning adventurer, author, and sustainability activist specializing in educational outreach program for children. In 2007, he became the first person to circumnavigate the Earth without using motors or sails: walking, cycling, and inline skating five continents, and kayaking, swimming, rowing, and pedalling a boat across the rivers, seas, and oceans. Taking thirteen years to complete, the 46,505-mile journey was hailed ?the last great first for circumnavigation? by the Sunday Times.
For Jason, adventure is about much more than just records or firsts - it's also about education and raising awareness of environmental and humanitarian issues. His non-profit organisation has raised thousands of pounds for humanitarian causes like The Hope Orphanage in East Timor, and hospices for people living with HIV and AIDS.
"A journey of great courage and determination ... I believe it is important in our era of cars, trains and aeroplanes that we are reminded what human beings can achieve using their own strength and resources." His Holiness, The Dalai Lama
"An epic journey that few can rival in terms of endurance and overcoming obstacles. I admire Jason's tenacity so much." Bear Grylls
