SEAN SWARNER
KEEP CLIMBING
MARCH 11
Sean Swarner has broken through defined human limitation in order to redefine the way the world views success.
Sean is a medical marvel and is the only person in the world ever to have been diagnosed with both Hodgkin’s disease and Askin’s sarcoma. He was diagnosed in the fourth and final stage of Hodgkin’s disease at the age of 13. Doctors expected him to live for no more than three months. He overcame his illness only to be stricken a second time when a golf ball-sized tumor attacked his right lung. After removal of the Askin’s tumor, Sean was expected to live for less than two weeks. He astounded the medical community when he survived both these brutal diseases and a medical-induced coma. A decade later and with only partial use of his lungs, Sean became famous for being the first cancer survivor to climb Mount Everest. Sean realized that after defeating cancer twice, no challenge would ever be too great or any peak too high.
Sean proved his theory when he crested the peak of the highest point in the world – Mount Everest. Sean decided to continue climbing and has since topped the highest peaks in Africa, Europe, South America, Australia, Antarctica, and North America.
As Sean continues to defy the odds and test his own personal endurance, he continues his dedication toward his mission of sharing his message of healing, hope, and triumph with cancer patients worldwide. Sean also serves as a source of inspiration as the founder of his non-profit organization CancerClimber, as author of the book Keep Climbing, and as a motivational speaker to corporations, universities, and other groups around the world.
Sean will continue to Keep Climbing and defying boundaries so that others can find the hope and inspiration to write their own success story.

Best-selling “Letting Go” author Guy Finley’s encouraging and accessible message is one of the true bright lights in our world today. His ideas cut straight to the heart of our most important personal and social issues – relationships, success, addiction, stress, peace, happiness, freedom – and lead the way to a higher life.
Guy is the author of The Seeker, The Search, and The Sacred and more than 40 other books and audio programs that have sold over a million copies in 18 languages worldwide. In addition, he has presented over 4,000 self-realization seminars over the past 30 years and has been a guest on television and radio shows, including national appearances on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN and NPR. His syndicated weekly radio program is aired on several international networks.
Guy is director of Life of Learning Foundation, a non-profit Center for Self-study in Merlin, Oregon, and his Key Lesson e-mails are read each week by over 200,000 subscribers in 142 countries.
Guy’s career reached this point through a circuitous path. Born into a successful show business family, he is the son of late-night TV and radio pioneer Larry Finley. His childhood friends were the sons and daughters of the most famous celebrities in the world. As a young man Guy enjoyed success in a number of areas including composing award-winning music for many popular recording artists including Diana Ross, Debbie Boone, The Jackson 5, Billy Preston, The Four Seasons, as well as writing the scores for several motion pictures and TV shows. From 1970-1979 he wrote and recorded his own albums under the Motown and RCA recording labels.
Throughout his youth, Guy suspected there was more to life than the type of worldly success that led to the emptiness and frustration he saw among his own “successful” friends and colleagues. In 1979, after travels throughout North America, India and the Far East in search of truth and Higher Wisdom, Guy voluntarily retired from his flourishing music career in order to simplify his life and to concentrate on deeper self-studies.

In spite of them all, she learned to swim, drive a car, fly an airplane, earn two black belts in taekwondo, graduate from college, surf, scuba dive, and live independently using her feet in ways others who take their hands for granted can only imagine.
Jessica holds the title of the first person without arms to get a black belt in the American Taekwondo Association and the Guinness World Record for the first pilot to fly with her feet. Yet, her greatest triumph in life stands far above any physical feat. It is her unrepentant regard for herself a whole person, her high degree of self-acceptance that gives her the freedom and power to insist that society accept her, too, just as she is.
