ABOUT edward
Edward Dostaler is a Canadian endurance athlete, motivational speaker, and the author of Iceberg: A Solo Run Across Canada. A Lesson in Endurance, Integrity, and the Power of One. Known as “Fast Eddy,” Edward ran across Canada and back—over 21,000 kilometers—solo and unsupported, raising awareness for Alzheimer’s and breast cancer while pushing all his gear in a stroller named Aurora.
He has delivered over 500 school presentations and keynotes across the country, speaking on topics like resilience, mental health, bullying, and the power of one person to create change. His journey has been featured on CBC, CTV, and Global News, and he continues to tour as one of Canada’s most impactful voices in youth and leadership development.
Through his platform, Fast Eddy Canada, Edward blends storytelling, motivational speaking, and fine art wildlife photography to support five causes: Alzheimer’s, breast cancer, mental health, heart and stroke, and The Ocean Cleanup. His work is grounded in integrity, purpose, and the belief that showing up matters more than being perfect.
When he’s not on stage or writing, Edward can be found deep in the wilderness capturing images for his photography collection or mentoring others to take the first step in their own meaningful journey.
