Timeline

1987

Turia Pitt (born 24 July 1987) is a French Polynesian born athlete, motivational speaker, author and mining engineer.

2010

She went on to the University of New South Wales (UNSW), where she completed a Bachelor of Engineering (Mining) / Bachelor of Science in 2010.

2011

On 2 September 2011, Pitt was competing in a 100 km ultramarathon through Western Australia's Kimberley region, when she was caught in a large bush fire.

During a subsequent inquiry, she stated there was "nowhere else to go" when the competitors tried to outrun an out-of-control blaze that swept up Selena Gorge, just outside Kununurra.

Pitt sustained burns to 65 percent of her body.

It was several hours before medical help arrived and she was air-lifted out.

Doctors did not expect her to survive her injuries.

The parliamentary inquiry into the Kimberley Ultramarathon was damning of the race organisers, RacingThePlanet.

Among other things, it was revealed that the organisers were unable to communicate properly between checkpoints.

2014

Pitt launched Supreme Court action against RacingThePlanet, and in May 2014, it was reported that an out-of-court settlement had been reached.

Pitt has been profiled by the Australian television program 60 Minutes, Women's Weekly and One Plus One.

In 2014, Pitt was named the New South Wales Premier's Award for Woman of the Year and was a finalist for Young Australian of the Year.

In that capacity, she walked the Great Wall of China in 2014, the Inca Trail in 2015, and the Kokoda Track in 2016.

Before the ultramarathon incident, Pitt was a healthy, fit athlete.

As a result of her injuries in the fire, she was placed in a medically-induced coma for a month.

All the fingers of her right hand and two fingers on her left had to be amputated.

She endured six months in the hospital, underwent over 200 operations and spent two years in recovery.

During that time, she was required to wear a full-body compression suit and mask and only remove it for an hour daily.

The mask was needed to help smooth out the scars on her face and body.

She removed it for the first time on the 60 Minutes programme, revealing her face to the world on TV.

She attended Ulladulla Public School and Ulladulla High School.
