02.04.11 - Jonny Imerman

Jonny Imerman was 26 when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. While he was going through treatment he sought out other young adult survivors. Unable to find any he founded Imerman Angels, a one on one cancer support group that matches a person touched by or battling cancer with another person affected by the same type of cancer. Jonny started Imerman Angels in 2003 with just a handful of survivors. Now the organization is 4000 strong and growing.

Sean Swarner was your typical 13-year-old when he was diagnosed with cancer for the first time. He was diagnosed again when he was 16 and given 2 weeks to live. He spent all of age 16 in a medically induced coma during his round the clock chemo treatment. After he was declared cancer free he decided that no challenge would be too great. Beating the odds, Sean became the first cancer survivor to summit Mount Everest. Find out more about Sean and his amazing story at cancerclimber.org.
