Sean Swarner used to be a boy who was expected to live for 2 weeks. He had the fourth and final stage of Hodgkin's disease at only the age of thirteen. On top of that he got a tumor on his lungs. When the doctors removed it his chances of living went even lower then before. 10 years later Sean climbed the great Mt.Everest and became the first ever cancer survivor. He didn't stop there he wanted to climb the peeks in a seven continents. He followed his dream and later after climbing to the summit of Mt. McKinley he became the first cancer survivor to climb the seven summits. Sean Swarner overcame his fear of dieing from cancer and pursue his dream of climbing the summits. People used to think of Sean Swarner as a thirteen year old boy who was going to die and now they look up to him as a hero. Sean Swarner has wrote a book on his adventure and his life story. I guess when the odds seem against you, you just gotta keep climbin.
