About Turia Pitt

Turia Pitt Biography

Turia Pitt is a motivational speaker, athlete, author, and burn victim from Australia. Pitt, then 24 years old, got trapped in a grass fire while running an ultramarathon across Australia's Kimberley area in 2011. Pitt had been burned over 65 percent of her body for several hours before medical aid arrived and airlifted her out. She spent a month in a medically induced coma as a result of her injuries in the fire. All of her right hand's fingers, as well as two of her left, had to be removed. She spent six months in the hospital, had over 200 procedures, and recovered for two years. She had to wear a full-body compression suit and mask throughout that period, which she could only take off for an hour a day. The mask was necessary to assist smooth out her facial and body scars. On the 60 Minutes segment on her amazing recovery, she took it off for the first time, showing her face to the world. She was not anticipated to survive the grass fire, much less walk, run, or be self-sufficient again. Pitt, on the other hand, has bucked the odds. She raced in an Ironman competition in May 2016, and then went on to compete in the Ironman World Championships in Kona, Hawaii. Pitt has been featured on the Australian television show 60 Minutes and in the magazine Women's Weekly. She has become a sought-after public speaker, presenting an encouraging address titled Unmask Your Potential at the TEDx Macquarie University conference in September 2014. Pitt has written many books, including Everything to Live For: The Inspirational Story of Turia Pitt, Unmasked, and Good Selfie: Tips & Tools for Teens to Nail Life, all released in 2013. Pitt is a mother as well, having had her first child in December 2017. Pitt graduated from the University of New South Wales with a bachelor's degree in mining engineering.
