Inspirational


Yesterday while surfing the web for new equipment I came across an inspirational story that I felt inclined to share. Sean Swarner is a Marmot pro athlete and two time cancer survivor. He was first diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease at age 13 and told that he only had a few months to live. After defeating Hodgkin's he was diagnosed with Askin's sarcoma at age 16 and told he only had weeks to live. Needless to say, he astounded the medical community with his survival. His dual bouts with cancer left him with a single lung but he wouldn't let that stop him from achieving the loftiest of goals. Ten years after battling through his second bout of cancer, Sean found himself standing on top of Mt. Everest. Being the first cancer survivor to ever do so, he decided to keep climbing in the name of cancer survivors and succeeded in summiting the highest mountain on every continent.

Sean is an inspirational human being with a character that just won't quit.
