No matter the country, no matter the peak, there are some things that connect us all. We all breathe. We all dream. We all bleed. You see things differently when you're standing on top of the world.

In 2018 Chris Bombardier became the first mountaineer with hemophilia to successfully climb the Seven Summits, the tallest mountain on each of the seven continents. But that was just the beginning of his journey. What he saw on his adventures, both from the mountain tops and in the surrounding villages, inspired and changed him. In the years since his climbs, Chris channeled my spirit and ambition towards a new frontier: advocacy and global healthcare through my work at Save One Life.
