BIOGRAPHY ROBBY KOJETIN
In 2006, Robby Kojetin broke both ankles in a freak accident at an indoor climbing gym, sentencing a 28-year-old advertising creative to a wheelchair. This sparked a downward spiral to absolute rock bottom that eventually cost him his business, his engagement to be married, his independence and ultimately, his will to live. His story follows a descent into the darkest depths of debt and depression and addiction to pain medication. Robby's undoing culminated in a suicide attempt which fortunately failed. Faced without any other option, Robby began a painful journey to be "stronger, tougher, more determined" than he was the day before. That was day one. After seven surgeries, countless hours of physical therapy and his daily commitment to rebuild his life, on Day 928, Robby became the 17th South African to summit Mount Everest and realise the dream that literally saved his life. Since successfully climbing Mount Everest, Robby has had the privilege of sharing his story with over 80 000 people, in 12 countries on 5 continents. Robby's book, Mind Over Mountain, has sold over 4000 copies globally, and compliments his keynote presentation, unpacking vital issues such as depression, suicide, anxiety, hope and recovery.
