This is unbelievable! What an indomitable spirit!
His first goal was to crawl 8 feet from the hospital bed to the bathroom. He went on to Redefine Impossible by climbing 29,035 feet to the top of Mt. Everest with one lung!
If you have a goal and have courage, urge to achieve, then you can achieve any feat. A good lesson for all of us who become more sicker in small diseases like flu etc.

This is a humungous effort! A lot to be applauded... A real meaning for those who feel sickness takes away theirs moments from life. Very Inspiring...
With only one functioning lung, a prognosis of fourteen days to live, and being in a medically-induced coma for a year, Sean Swarner is the first cancer survivor to stand on top of the world.
Sean was diagnosed with two deadly, different, and unrelated forms of cancer, once at the age of thirteen and again at the age of sixteen.
After an incredibly poor prognosis, and being read his last rites, Sean astounded the medical community when he survived both these brutal diseases.
He realized that after defeating cancer twice, no challenge would ever be too great, no peak too high.
Sean proved his theory on the peak of Mt. Everest. He continued climbing and has since topped the highest peaks in Africa, Europe, South America, Australia, Antarctica, and North America, thus completing the “7-Summits”.
Upon skiing to both the South and the North Poles, Sean completed the Explorer’s Grand Slam.
With the completion of the Ironman World Championship in Hawaii, Sean is the only person in history to accomplish these inhuman feats.
As Sean continues to defy the odds, test his own endurance and inspire and motivate people around the world, he shares his message of healing, hope, and triumph with cancer patients worldwide.
Sean also serves as a source of inspiration as the founder of the non-profit organization, The CancerClimber Association, as author of the book “Keep Climbing,” and as a motivational speaker to corporations, universities, and other organizations around the globe.
