Sean Swarner, Cancer Climber: Marmot Speaker Series Hosted By The American Alpine Club
Back to events |
When: Nov 4, 2009
Where: The American Mountaineering Center, Golden, CO
Two-Time Cancer Survivor Sean Swarner Shares His Remarkable Story of Climbing the World’s Seven Summits.
Sean Swarner is living proof of triumph against all odds. At age 13, then age 15, he was diagnosed with cancer and given only weeks to live. Both times he beat the disease and nearly 15 years later he climbed to the summit of Mount Everest with only one fully-functioning lung.
Since then he has completed the Seven Summits, reaching the highest point on each continent, as part of an ongoing mission to inspire those who have been touched by cancer. Sean continues to push himself to the limit to prove anything is possible and motivate
those affected by the disease to inspire each other.
Please join us at The American Mountaineering Center in Golden, CO to hear Sean Swarner speak as part of the Marmot Speaker Series.
