Steve Moby Leitch

Steve Leitch, affectionately known as "Moby", to my granddaughter. I was born amidst the historic charm and natural beauty of Edinburgh, Scotland. Today, Taylors, South Carolina is the place I call home.

Since childhood, the water has been my sanctuary. My affinity for swimming quickly escalated into a passion for ultra-marathon swimming—an extreme sport that tests the boundaries of human endurance. My swims are not mere sporting events; they are the sweat equity to help others., much like the awe-inspiring stories that captivate audiences worldwide.

As an individual deeply committed to my Christian faith, Jesus is both my savior and my guiding light. This spiritual compass enriches my life's journey, providing an added layer of emotional and narrative complexity that would deeply resonate with faith-focused viewers.

My personal voyage includes overcoming substance abuse, with over 12 years of substance free!. This transformative experience has shaped my worldview and intensified my mission to help others, creating a compelling arc of redemption and transformation. The core of my story is about convergence—the merging of my love for open water swimming and philanthropy. I undertake ultra-marathon swims to raise funds for constructing long-term sober living facilities and mental health counseling services, particularly for the foster community.

While many focus on leaving financial legacies, my philosophy centers on active legacy-building. Each day, I cultivate new habits aimed at affecting meaningful change, offering a fresh perspective on what it means to truly leave a mark on this world.
