About Dawn

It started with one heartbeat that almost stopped.

In 2013, Dawn's mother Janet suffered a major heart attack in a theatre foyer in Perth. Dawn performed CPR on her own mum — and her first aid training helped save Janet's life. With heart disease running through her family, that moment changed everything.

Dawn turned it into a mission. As the Queen of Hearts, she set out from Adelaide in February 2025 on a solo circumnavigation of Australia — running and riding ~15,000 km over 200 consecutive days, with zero rest days — raising funds for the Heart Foundation and the Royal Flying Doctor Service, and starting conversations about heart health in every town along the way.

Through remote coastline, desert, rainforest and outback, there were days when the only voice pushing her forward was her own. Today, through Heartline Endurance, Dawn brings that lived experience to the stage — and builds what comes next.

Still Standing

"Resilience isn't a theory I read about. It's something I lived — 200 consecutive days, solo, around Australia."

The message your people need — let's fix the word "resilience"

Resilience is not…

  • "Tolerate more. Bounce back faster."
  • A fixed personality trait you either have or you don't.
  • The individual's job to quietly absorb systemic pressure.

Resilience is…

  • A learnable skill — built, practised, maintained.
  • Sustaining performance and purpose under real pressure.
  • Recognising pressure early — and having the tools to respond.
"You don't rise to the occasion. You fall back on what you've practised."

A practical framework, not a pep talk — five principles, built on the road

1

Prepare

Build the shelter before the storm hits.

2

Reframe

A hard day is data, not failure.

3

Endure

Keep moving without burning out.

4

Support

Nobody circumnavigates anything alone.

5

Recover

Rest is part of the work, not a reward.
