Liz Mayon-White is an adventurer, endurance athlete, author and keynote speaker whose life has rarely followed a straight line.
In her early twenties, she became a Yachtmaster Instructor before going on to row 3,000 miles across the Atlantic, becoming the 19th woman in the world to row an ocean and the first woman to row into Antigua.
Years later, Liz found another challenge in endurance sport, eventually representing Great Britain in Age Group triathlon, while still battling the familiar voice of self-doubt telling her she probably didn't belong there.
Alongside her adventures, Liz built a successful corporate career spanning more than 25 years, including leadership roles within the NHS and helping lead a large GP-led Covid vaccination centre through a period of extraordinary change and uncertainty.
Then, at the 2022 World Triathlon Championships in Abu Dhabi, Liz discovered a lump in her neck. It was eventually diagnosed as an aggressive throat cancer.
Treatment and recovery forced her to draw on many of the lessons life had already taught her; control what you can, adapt when the plan changes and keep moving forward.
Liz returned to endurance sport, began running ultramarathons, wrote her book "One Life. Chase Yours", and started sharing her story from the stage.
Those experiences became the foundation of ONE LIFE. CHASE YOURS, helping people navigate uncertainty, build resilience, challenge what they believe is possible and take greater ownership of what happens next.
Because ONE LIFE isn't really about rowing oceans, surviving cancer or crossing finish lines.
It's about what we do when life doesn't go to plan — and what might still be possible next.
