“IF YOU KNEW THERE WAS A REASON, A PURPOSE THAT YOU EXIST ON EARTH. HOW WOULD YOU SHOW UP EVERY DAY?”

SEAN SWARNER


At the age of 16 years old, Sean Swarner was diagnosed with terminal cancer and was given 14 days to live. Now in his 50s, Sean has become the first cancer survivor to scale Mt. Everest, climb the seven continent’s peaks, ski to both Poles, and complete the Hawaii Ironman World Championship - all with one functioning lung.

As he embarks on yet another incredible journey to run 7 marathons, in 7 continents, in 7 days, he teams up with lung cancer awareness foundation Lungevity to spread awareness on the importance of cancer research, living every day to the fullest, and what inspires him to push himself to new heights.

“NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO CLIMB MT. EVEREST, BUT WE ALL HAVE AN EVEREST TO CLIMB.”
