Abhi swims runs climbs
Cancer survivor,
adventurer,
entrepreneur,
speaker.
Following a tongue cancer diagnosis at the age of 22, Abhishek encountered the fragility of life first hand. The experience forced a desire to no longer take life for granted, rather to pursue it with value driven action.
Since finding this new perspective Abhishek has swum solo across the English Channel, competed in multiple triathlons, ran the Marathon des Sables, launched Nullarbor Watch and raised almost $40,000 for cancer research. He is now focused on advocacy for mental fitness and the early detection of cancer.

Running the Sahara Desert, 2024
Fighting the searing 50 degree heat while traversing arid flats, spanning dunes and high exposed ridges.

Climbing Mount Everest, 2026 (Planned)
Next year I plan to attempt my most audacious adventure yet - climbing Mt Everest.
