ABOUT Alan Hobson   (+/-)

Conquering Challenges, Defying the Odds

After 10 grueling expeditions to high altitude, three to Mt. Everest, and a decade of intense fundraising, training and organizational effort, Alan Hobson finally stood on top of the world, literally, at the summit of Mt. Everest.  Incredibly, three years later, he was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer of the blood and given less than a year to live. Using the hard-won lessons he learned through his many adventures worldwide, Alan chose to ignore solid medical evidence that there was an 85 per cent chance he would die, and thanks to raw courage and the miracles of modern medicine, he not only survived but thrived. He is now one of less than a dozen people to achieve an elite level of fitness after a blood cell transplant for acute leukemia and is considered officially medically cured. 

Dedication, Commitment, Service

Alan's current expedition is to continue his miraculous climb back from cancer and help as many others as possible do the same.  He is co-author of the landmark book, Climb Back from Cancer - Introducing The 10 Tools of Triumph for Survivors and Caregivers, and has established the The Climb Back from Cancer Foundation, whose mission is to take hope to new heights by giving cancer patients, survivors and caregivers the tools they need to climb back to better lives. The foundation is helping to spearhead ground-breaking new medical studies in the area of cancer survival and has already aided several survivors surpass expected levels of recovery.
