The North Pole -- the True North

This is such an inspiring and compelling adventure story about Sean Swarner who had cancer and fought it valiantly with sheer grit and determination. With part of one of his lungs missing, he makes a trek to the North Pole and I recently saw this grueling event on the Public Broadcasting System (PBS).  He has also done other remarkable quests but this one was to find his True North.

Before his journey, he undertook a strenuous training regimen not fit for the weak at heart or with  other ailments.



For example, he pulled a string of massive tires to simulate the sled he would pull to the North Pole.  He even pulled a Jeep Wrangler and it is a heavy vehicle but Oh! so fun to drive.  I have a stick shift Wrangler and it has been in the garage for more than a year now.



I have endometrial (uterus) cancer that has spread and I am undergoing chemo therapy at this time.  Previous chemo treatments damaged my nerve endings in my legs and feet.

I hope eventually to find my True North but I must confess that I wobble and fall a lot.  I would be very happy if I could walk with my Rollator up the 400-yard long street that I live on without crossing another street.

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Hope you play this inspirational trailer.
