MEET YOUR 2019 MEDAL WARRIOR- coming soon
2018 MEDAL WARRIOR
We are proud to announce Zibeon Fielding as the WARRIOR to feature on the 2018 medal
Zibeon is proof that you can never ever give up.
It took the 24 year old Pinjanjatjara/Yanykunytjara man from the APY Lands four attempts before he was finally accepted into the IMP in 2016. After running the New York City Marathon as part of his IMP journey, Zibeon turned his focus on what needed to be done closer to home, in the tiny, remote community of Mimili.
Zibeon ran a distance of 62km through harsh desert terrain to raise over $50,000 for Purple House Western Desert dialysis, and has shown the nation what a single person with a purpose and passion can do to change outcomes.
Zibeon has eight brothers and sisters and lives with his parents and five of his siblings. He has a two year old daughter - Natania who he calls his "precious little princess" and attributes that the reason behind his need to promote good health and physical activity, is to be a good role model for his daughter.
