“The decision to give back to the Royal Hospital for Women was an easy decision for Peter and his wife Kylie. It was their way of acknowledging the amazing work of the staff and to say ‘thank you’.
I am humbled by their decision, and invite you to become a corporate sponsor and be part of an experience that will help save the lives of many premature and critically-ill babies.

Your partnership WILL make a difference.”

"I, too, know what it feels like to contemplate the worst.

"I lived through my pregnancy knowing I could lose my twin babies at any moment. Many people have asked me, “how did you do it?” The answer is simple. I lived every single second of every day, hoping and praying my babies would defy the odds, and make it. For me, there was no other choice.

Like me, Peter and Kylie lived a nightmare. And this intensely personal and private account of their battle to give their unborn child, a life, however long that may be … moved me to tears. But it's far more important than life or death. This book is about living, in the moment, and accepting whatever miracles come your way. It's an inspirational story of the power of love, and how one couple ignored medical advice to terminate, and prayed only for their baby to have the best life possible .. to take "just one breath".

Whoever could have believed that a life force could change so many lives for the better, without even trying. It reveals the fragility of life, and the unconditional love of two parents, united in the most horrifying experience of their lives. But most importantly it shows the power of hope!"

Peter Dubiez is an inspiring speaker who can motivate an audience to action. I have seen Peter speak on several occasions and each time his moving story brings out the emotion in his audience. Although he tells a very personal story, he effectively translates his message to apply to all aspects of life from personal to business results.

If you are looking for a speaker with a different slant but a powerful message I would strongly recommend Peter Dubiez.

Warm Regards

“During my 20 years in the media, I have seen hundreds of speakers and entertainers. But I have never experienced anyone quite like
Peter Dubiez. Put simply, he is one of the most powerful speakers I have ever seen. Peter grips the audience from his first words, taking them on an extraordinary journey through hope, despair and ultimately redemption. His wise words teach us all about the power of love."

Tracey Spicer, News Media and Television Presenter

 

Peter was my coach and physical trainer for my National Surf Team during much of the nineties while he lived in America. When traveling through Australia with my team, Coach Dubiez would join us for three-week training tours. It was during these condensed tours that athletes would grow as champions and human beings. He is a total coach, who focuses on the emotional and motivational side of sport. He believes confidence can be increased through extreme physical fitness and overcoming mental barriers. I would highly recommend Peter Dubiez for any assignment. Failure is not an option with him and overcoming huge odds are his specialties. I have witnessed him competing in triathlons and believe he truly has the "Stuff of Champions!"

Thank you all so very very much for participating in the Youth Enterprise Trust barn raising project. The Platinum Benevolence Taskforce greatly appreciates your support and the valuable contribution that you all made over the weekend.

Many of these young people go onto worthwhile careers and many continue their relationship with YET by returning as mentors and assistants in later programmes. The ripples of your generous assistance will flow on and benefit the lives of many other Australians, young and old alike.

Again, we thank you for your kindness – without the support of people like you there would have been no project.
