Personal Details

Bio

In 2006 Robby broke both ankles in a climbing accident, permanently damaging both ankles and putting him in a wheelchair for the longest year of his life. With crippling debt, severe depression and constant pain, Robby spiralled into an abyss of despair and hopelessness, with literally nothing left.

With no reason to carry on living, he would have to create one.

Robby used an inconceivable pipe dream as a reason to get out of bed the next day.

Three years and 27 days later he stood on top of the highest mountain in the world. Robby has gone on to complete the Ironman triathlon, despite doctors' damning predictions that he'd never climb or run again.

Since 2009 Robby Kojetin has spoken to over 30 000 people all over the world and is one one of the most authentically inspiring people on stage today.
