Speaker Jennifer Wills
Jen Willis (Australia) — 54, is mother and educator from Melbourne. She returned to complete the final 848m of Everest after reaching 8,000m in 2023 while living with Multiple Sclerosis.
In 2026, Jen returned to Mount Everest to complete what she started—to become the first Australian with MS to reach the summit
This isn’t just a physical goal. It’s a story about rising, falling, and rising again. It’s about leadership without ego, courage without bravado, and the quiet strength it takes to try again—publicly, purposefully, and wholeheartedly.
This climb isn’t just Jen’s. It’s for every woman who’s been underestimated. For anyone who has had their path interrupted through no fault of their own.
