ALAN HOBSON
INSPIRATIONAL EVEREST CLIMBER AND CANCER SURVIVOR
International bestselling author and cancer survivor Alan Hobson reached the top of Mt. Everest on his third expedition only to face an even bigger mountain when he was diagnosed with acute leukemia, a cancer of the blood, and given less than a year to live—unless he survived intensive chemotherapy cancer treatment, a perilous adult blood cell transplant and climbed back to share his triumphant cancer survivor story with the world. As it turned out, that is exactly what he did.
Triumph through Tenacity
Alan Hobson believes that every setback should be followed by a climb back. After nearly two decades of preparation and three grueling attempts, the international bestselling author, inspirational and motivational speaker and world adventurer finally achieved his childhood dream of standing atop the world’s tallest peak, Mount Everest. Incredibly, he was yet to face an even greater challenge when he was diagnosed with leukemia and given less than a year to live. In the hopes of turning this medical mountain expedition into a thrilling cancer survivor story, he bet his life on multiple around-the-clock week-long high dose chemotherapy cancer treatments and a risky adult blood cell transplant, a procedure that would take him to the edge of life and death. Today, he is not only a thriving cancer survivor with an inspirational cancer survivor story to tell, but he is also one of less than a dozen people to achieve an elite level of fitness after intensive chemotherapy cancer treatments and an adult blood cell transplant for acute leukemia. He has now been cancer-free for more than five years and is considered “medically cured.”
A Master of Connection
Author of six bestselling books, including his latest, Climb Back from Cancer, which he co-authored with his wife and caregiver, Cecilia; co-creator of The Climb Back from Cancer Foundation, The Climb Back from Cancer Protocol™ and The 10 Tools of Triumph™ for cancer treatment, cancer survivors and caregivers; as a full-time inspirational and motivational speaker and author, Alan specializes in making invaluable connections between his life adventures and the everyday adventures of business and the business of life.

His personal vision is to create Climb Back from Cancer™ Centers where pioneering cancer treatment recovery methods can allow cancer survivors and caregivers to climb back to better lives and write their own inspirational cancer survivor stories of triumph as well.
