Accident and later lifeIn September 2011, Pitt was competing in an ultramarathon through Western Australia's Kimberley region, when she was caught in a grass fire. During a subsequent inquiry, she stated there was "nowhere else to go" when the competitors tried to outrun an out-of-control blaze that swept up Selena Gorge, just outside Kununurra. Pitt suffered burns to 65 percent of her body. It was several hours before medical help arrived and she was air-lifted out. Doctors did not expect her to survive her injuries.[3]. The parliamentary inquiry into the Kimberley Ultramarathon was damning of the race organisers, RacingThePlanet.[3] Among other things, it was revealed that that organisers were unable to communicate properly between checkpoints. Pitt launched Supreme Court action against RacingThePlanet, and in May 2014, it was reported that an out-of-court settlement had been reached.[4] Pitt has been profiled by the Australian television program 60 Minutes and Women’s Weekly. She has become a sought-after public speaker, appearing at such events as the TEDx Macquarie University conference in September 2014, giving an inspirational talk entitled Unmask your Potential.[5] Pitt has mentored thousands through her online programs, raised funds and awareness for a variety of philanthropic concerns, and authored two books: Everything To Live For and Unmasked.[3] In 2018, she joined Anthony Robins as a headliner at the 2018 National Achievers Congress in Brisbane.[6] In 2014, Pitt was named the New South Wales Premier's Award Woman of the Year and was a finalist for Young Australian of the Year. In 2016, she was a finalist in the Australian of the Year award, and the NSW finalist for Telstra Business Woman of the Year award. A cover story about her in The Australian Women's Weekly attracted worldwide media attention.[7][8] She is an Ambassador for Interplast Australia & New Zealand (now called ReSurge International),[9] and has raised money for the organisation by leading trekking adventures. In that capaxcity, she walked the Great Wall of China in 2014, the Inca Trail in 2015, and the Kokoda Track in 2016. Through this work, along with her support for other ReSurge International fundraising initiatives, she has directly and indirectly contributed to more than $1 million being raised to support the organisation's work. [10][11] Medical problemsPrior to the ultramarathon incident, Pitt was a healthy, fit athlete. As a result of her injuries in the fire, she was placed in a medically-induced coma for a month.[5] All the fingers of her right hand, and two fingers on her left, had to be amputated. She endured six months in hospital, underwent over 200 operations and spent two years in recovery.[7] During that time, she was required to wear a full-body compression suit and mask, and only allowed to remove for an hour a day. The mask was required to help smooth out the scars on her face and body. She removed it for the first time on the 60 Minutes program revealing her face to the world. Personal lifePitt spent her childhood in Ulladulla, a small coastal town in New South Wales. She attended Ulladulla Public School and Ulladulla High School. During her youth, she was well known for her athletic abilities and also did well academically. She went on to the University of New South Wales (UNSW), where she completed a Bachelor of Engineering (Mining) / Bachelor of Science in 2010.[12] Pitt met Michael Hoskin at school. The pair became a couple years later and relocated to Western Australia together. The two enjoyed travel and a physical lifestyle. After Pitt was injured in the ultramarathon fire, Hoskin supported and assisted her in her recovery and the two moved to Ulladulla.[13] It was announced on 21 July 2015 that she and long-term partner Michael Hoskin were engaged.[2] On 8 May 2016, Pitt completed in her first Ironman Australia competition, finishing in a time of 13:24:42.[14] On 8 October 2016, she completed the Ironman World Championship at Kailua-Kona, Hawaii, with a time of 14:37:30.[15] Pitt and her fiancé announced on 21 July 2017 that they were expecting a boy.[16] On 7 December 2017, she gave birth to their son, Hakavai Hoskin.
