Legless: William Pike on being an explorer

Meagan Kelly —

William Pike delivered an inspiring and motivating speech in Christchurch last week and we were there! Having one leg isn't holding him back...

We were invited to Rangi Ruru last week to meet William Pike. He shared his extraordinary story of courage and survival after being trapped in Dome Shelter up Mt Ruapehu and subsequently losing his leg. This hasn't slowed him down though and he told us about his recent trip to Antartica and the poignant journey going back to Dome Shelter. 

At MPS, we have 12 keen Pikelets for 2018. So far, we have been up Mt Herbert via Diamond Harbour and this weekend we are mountain biking at Bottle Lake Forest. We are explorers!
