Louis is the first — and only — person in history to complete marathons on all Seven Continents and swim marathons in all Seven Seas.

At just 26 years old, Louis is one of the youngest professional adventurers in the world. His expeditions have raised tens of thousands for charity and have been featured in major international media, including National Geographic, BBC News, Sky News, and The Morning Show in Australia.
