If you’re going to confront mortality, Mount Everest is a good place to do it. Dr. Shaunna Burke is a researcher who specializes in exercise and cancer who ended up being diagnosed with a type of cancer she was told was incurable. “Don't put off anymore what you want to do. Don't say, I'll do it in the future. I'll do it in three or four months. Forget that, we don't know if we've got that. So make it happen today.” Burke said. Mike Armstrong has more on Burke’s latest climb up Everest to raise money for cancer support.
