Justine Curtis MFIA Inspired Adventures In 2001, while travelling through India, Justine had a chance meeting with Palden Gyatso, a former Tibetan political prisoner. Imprisoned by the Chinese for over 30 years and tortured daily, Palden had endured so much, yet he retained an inspirational resolve to never give up. When she asked how she could bring his teachings to the western world, he said "Do dharma. Do good work. Be it.". Justine returned to Australia and founded Inspired Adventures to take people on the journey of a lifetime, physically and emotionally. She wanted to give ordinary people the opportunity to do good for themselves and for charity; to inspire transformation through experience. She wanted to empower people to push themselves to accomplish things greater than they ever thought possible. Since the first Inspired Adventure in 2005, they have coordinated over 400 charity challenges across 20 countries, each raising tens of thousands of dollars for worthwhile causes. They have engaged more than 5,000 community fundraisers over the years. "From humble, hopeful beginnings to achieving over $29 million raised, I am in awe of the achievements of our many charity partners and am continually inspired by the generosity and courage of our adventurers." | |
