Knowing Oscar and how he charges at the challenges thrown at him I was keen to see how he balanced his infamous confidence with this new challenge that I could not pretend to comprehend. I heard an Oscar that balanced the sheer force of his personality with a sense of humility and gratitude that was inspiring. The challenging humour leveled at his competitors was delivered with both a sense his inimitable confidence and respect. The balance of wit and win was great and clearly paved the way for his biggest challenge ever. He made something that would have broken the best of us somehow uplifting and reassuring and that there are two ways to tackle seemingly insurmountable hardships.....either throw in the towel or draw on all your inner strength, and those close to you, and stare it in the eye. That’s what Oscar did. - Dale Tomlinson

Having experienced literally hundreds of speakers-live and on YouTube-over the last 20 or so years. it takes a lot to wow me but that's exactly what happened when I attended Oscar's talk in Durban a short while ago. He really is a one-of-a-kind human being and an athlete with the sort of self -belief and achievement which makes one think of Ali and Armstrong. His presentation was engaging and well delivered and his story compelling and inspiring. I can recommend him to anyone who wants their audience to feel uplifted and go away with some practical knowledge for living life more fully. - Vernon O’Connel
Multiple Myeloma Fund
Oscar has set up a Multiple Myeloma Fund South Africa together with the assistance of Stuart Lowe and Campaigning for Cancer. This fund is to raise money for Multiple Myeloma patients in South Africa as this cancer is extremely expensive to treat. Oscar will be donating a percentage of all income generated from his talks to this fund.
