Zack Condick
Zack Condick is an author, athlete, professional speaker, and cancer survivor.
When an autoimmune issue cut short a promising career in Aussie rules football, Zack channelled his passion into his carpentry business. However, after being diagnosed with a rare bone cancer with low odds of survival, he was forced to give up his business to fight for his life.
Determined to defy the odds, Zack explored alternative therapies to complement his conventional treatment of gruelling chemotherapy and complicated surgeries. The complex and relentless nature of his condition meant he was at real risk of losing his leg, and he had to fight every step of the way to keep it. With the birth of his son Hunter, Zack found a new purpose, a new reason to keep fighting.
Now Zack’s mission is to give back in every way possible. Discovering a passion for disability support, he helps others through their own challenges, providing support and a strong role model to those who need it. By sharing his story, Zack aims to inspire others experiencing adversity and extreme hardship to keep fighting, no matter the odds. He knows the fight isn’t over until you say it is.
Although limited by his leg, Zack still has a passion for sport, and he is training to one day compete in the Paralympics.
He enjoys fishing, camping, and spending time in the outdoors. To Zack, family is everything, and his son Hunter, partner Tessa, and dog Fawn are the lights of his life. After everything he has been through, he cherishes every moment he gets to spend with them.
