LISA Curry MBE AO came to Jabiru on Monday 2 March as part of her “One Life, One Chance Aussie Road Trip” to promote simple answers to a healthier life. Her visit was made possible with support from the West Arnhem Regional Council.

A renowned triple Olympian, popular personality and businesswoman, motivational speaker, author, elite coach, personal trainer, TV and radio presenter, former Chairman of the National Australia Day Council and mum to three children, Lisa is an outstanding Australian success story.

Best known for an international swimming career spanning 23 years, placing her in the top 25 swimmers in the world, Lisa also coached an outrigger team to four World Championships in Hawaii, the first Australian team ever to do so in the history of the race, and was the first Australian ever to win the Hawaiin Moloakia-Ohau 66km solo race.

Following a personal health scare, Lisa set about regaining her zest for life with trademark determination, focusing this time on improving her exercise regime and diet. Believing that many people want to make a similar change in their lives but are confused about where to start, Lisa’s passion today is to inspire others through her own experience. 

She has a unique and powerful message to share with other Australians, to encourage them to improve the quality of their lives through sensible weight loss and exercise and to reverse the growing trend of increasing levels of obesity and heart disease in both children and adults.
Stressing the importance of physical health and personal happiness for effective life management and balance, Lisa practices what she preaches, and her message is for everyone.
