Based in the Eastern Cape
Alison is one of the most sought-after speakers in South Africa and she has also visited over 20 countries world-wide where she has been invited to share her remarkable story.
She led a quiet life in Port Elizabeth, until one fatal night everything changed. In December 1994, she was abducted by two men at knife point, repeatedly raped, stabbed and left for dead on the outskirts of Port Elizabeth.
Having had her throat slit 16 times and 35 stab wounds in the abdomen, Alison held her head up with one hand, her intestines with the other, and crawled to the road where she collapsed. She was found by a young veterinary student and after waiting two hours for an ambulance, was taken to hospital. On arrival, no-one believed that a person with such severe wounds could possibly live! But she did!
Alison is no ordinary lady. She not only has an exceptional will to live, but she has an unbelievable attitude towards life and everyone can learn from it.
The presentation is not about bitterness and revenge; to the contrary, this is a motivating, inspirational presentation that reinforces the primary fundamental rule of life, which is that we all have a “choice” as to how we manage our experiences and our attitude towards life!
Alison became a household name with national television, newspaper and radio coverage of this remarkable lady who inspires all those who listen to her unbelievable story and the lessons we can learn from it.
