CancerClimber Association

DENVER (PRWEB) July 22, 2020

Sean Swarner, 2x cancer survivor, world-record holder, and co-founder of The CancerClimber Association (CCA) will embark on his 18th climb to Mount Kilimanjaro at the end of July with another group of cancer survivors and hikers. Every year, the cohort of CCA climbers will bring a HOPE flag that carries the names of friends and family members who have been touched by cancer. The hikers post the flag at the summit where it remains for thousands of people to see.

The flag is also how you can be a part of the team and a part of the climb. By making a donation you can include the name of a loved one, friend, or anyone you know who has been touched by cancer to this years flag, memorializing them forever on the roof of Africa.

To include a name on the flag, you can donate as little as $1. For those who donate $50 or more, their team will send you a signed photo of their team with the flag at the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. For those who donate $100 or more, they will receive the inclusion of loved ones names on the flag, the signed photo, and a copy of the HOPE flag.

All of us are alive, but not everyone is truly living, says Sean Swarner, Explorer Grand Slam Achiever, World Ironman Championship Competitor, and lifelong adventurer. After surviving cancer twice and learning how fleeting our time is on earth, it has been my greatest joy to now give others the hope that kept me - and continues to keep me - fighting because without hope we have nothing."

Each year prior to the start of the climb, the team raises money for the following year. The funds cover the cost for a cancer survivor to join their team on the journey to the top. 100% of the funds go to CancerClimbers Adventure Support Grant (ensuring future survivors this amazing, fully-funded trip of a lifetime!), development of their mobile camp for young adults with cancer, personal visits to patients to inspire HOPE, and inspiring all those touched by cancer to focus on living.
