Every challenge is an opportunity for growth: that’s a key takeaway from Ross MacFarlane and Hidayat Alizada. Both of our interviewees have achieved personal sporting success, while supporting good causes.
Ross, Remote Operations Centre Manager at Fugro in Dubai, shares insights into resilience and determination. He discusses his passion for triathlons and marathons, overcoming setbacks like battling COVID-19, and fundraising for charities like the Marie Curie Trust.
He is joined by Hidayat, who talks about achieving a personal best time at the London Marathon, inspired by the resilience and personal strength of a colleague, who is battling pancreatic cancer.
Speaking with Jon Baston-Pitt, Ross and Hidayat underscore the power of perseverance and the importance of aligning personal endeavours with broader missions, such as Fugro's commitment to creating a safe and liveable world.
