Sean created Cancer Climber with his brother in 2001, a nonprofit organization that pays for and travels with cancer survivors to climb Kilimanjaro. Sean’s passion for climbing and adventure blossomed after becoming the first cancer survivor to summit Mount Everest. Since then, he has climbed all seven summits, and has skied to both North and South Poles, making him the first cancer survivor to complete the Explorers Grand Slam. He accomplished all of this and completed the Hawaii Ironman all while having only one functioning lung. His adventures and passions have captured the attention of millions, and in 2017 a team followed Sean to the North Pole and made a documentary about him and his triumphs. The documentary, True North, was released on Amazon Prime. In 2018, Sean was voted one of the top 8 most inspirational people in history and was the recipient of the Don't Ever Give Up Award presented by the Jimmy V Foundation and ESPN.
