Greig Trout is the founder of ‘101 Things To Do When You Survive’, a website and initiative designed to inspire people to live fulfilling lives and to pursue their dreams whilst helping others along the way.
In 2013, after recovering from cancer for the second time with just one kidney, part of his large bowel missing and deep vein thrombosis as well as coping with the effects of PTSD, he created a website, ‘101 Things To Do When You Survive’ and set off on a two year adventure around the world.
The original aim of the website was to help people experiencing ill-health to feel excited about the future, instead of fearing it, however it became about much more and appealed to a far wider audience than expected. Throughout Greig’s travels, he wrote a highly acclaimed blog and made videos of his journey.
Whilst on his journeys he achieved his dreams and goals by ticking them off of his anti-bucket list. He also volunteered, fundraised for various charities, raised awareness of mental health and the psychological effects of cancer and, above all else, inspired people to believe that anything is possible.
Greig is now back in the UK and about to embark on a national school tour spreading his message of hope whilst also raising awareness of mental health issues. He has given presentations to schools and organisations all over the world, such as Cancer Council Australia, Channel 4 and Wellington College in New Zealand. He is also a regular speaker for Cancer Research UK.
His talks are considered motivational and inspirational. Drawing on his life experiences from his journey through cancer and of course ‘101 Things To Do When You Survive’, he covers topics such as reliance, body dysmorphia, helping others, goal setting and achievement and mental health.
His presentations are adapted to each specific audience which means they are suitable for young people of various ages and backgrounds and they normally last from 20 to 60 minutes, depending on the time available. The content itself is generally quite interactive and encourages audience participation, getting the pupils to think about life goals and routes by which they can achieve them as well as ways to simply help and be kinder to others in life.
