#77 My amazing guest this week is Ky Furneaux, who spent 16
years as a Hollywood stunt person. Her actions truly speak louder
than words with her mantra being 'Choose your life. Lose your
limits'.
What's even more incredible is her story behind her success. From
breaking her back at 19 years old in a car accident to then being
told she would never participate in normal activities again, this
really is an incredible journey of strength, courage, and
commitment. Be prepared to be seriously inspired! Enjoy.
About Ky: Ky Furneaux is an Australian outdoor
guide, TV host, survival expert and stunt person who has
appeared in over 50 films and TV productions.
When a car accident left Australian native Ky Furneaux with limited
mobility at age 19, she took what could have been a debilitating
setback and turned it into a true Hollywood story. Ky’s doctor told
her she would never be able to play sports or do the majority of
the outdoor activities she enjoyed. But Ky was determined to prove
him wrong.
After regaining her strength and her athletic ability, she took a
job as an outdoor team leader with an adventure company. Her work
with climbing, rappelling, high ropes, sailing, kayaking, canoeing,
and hiking led her to consider a career in stunt work.
