Selena Fisk

Having never completed anything of this magnitude, Selena remained disciplined, inspiring her partner, Tim, to even join in on the experience. Whilst the same was for most Queenslanders, intra-state travel opened up and could have presented itself as an opportunity to decrease her training, but alus, Selena took it another step further not only improving week to week with her prevention classes and cycling but began raising money for the ‘GO’ foundation (providing mentoring, leadership, networks and support to Indigenous Australians), and ended up raising more than $1,000 dollars to the foundation.

One week before the trip, and with the expected nerves heading into the experience, Selena was struck down with the flu. At PEAK one of our values is ‘choosing your pain’, that is we choose the pain of discipline over dysfunction, and without executing on this value prior to her illness, there would be a slim to little chance of her completing the trip.
