About the Author

Sean Swarner, the first cancer survivor to climb Mount Everest, continues to go on adventures that inspire and raise cancer awareness. He is close to becoming only the fifth person in history and the first cancer survivor to accomplish the "Adventure Grand Slam," which consists not only of climbing to the peak of the tallest mountain on each of the earth's seven continents but also trekking to both the North and South Poles. On every peak, he plants a flag bearing the following words: "Dedicated to all those affected by cancer in this small world!! Keep climbing!!" Visit him online at www.seanswarner.com.
