IA, US"Pursuing Life With Purpose and Passion"
Dr. Richard Deming is mesmerizing storyteller. Through his experiences as an oncologist and the founder of Above and Beyond Cancer, a nonprofit organization dedicated to elevating the lives of those touched by cancer, he shares incredible stories about cancer survivors and the challenges they faced confronting their cancer. These personal stories of survivors summiting mountaintops and racing across America have inspired audiences large and small for years. By hearing their stories, you’ll be ablet to tackle your next summit in life.
Since 2011, Dr. Deming has led thousands of cancer survivors on transformational mind-body-spirit journeys to other mountainous destinations around the world including Mount Kilimanjaro, Machu Picchu, and Mount Kailash in Tibet. He has also led survivors on a 3,000 mile bicycle race across from California to Maryland and a 4,000 mile running relay from Washington State to Delaware.
Climbing a mountain or running a race are metaphors that many cancer survivors use to describe their journey through treatment. Only survivors, themselves, can articulate the overwhelming sense of accomplishment they feel when they succeed in reaching the “summit” of their journey. But what every survivor will tell you is that his or her perspective on life is forever changed. Through the difficult journey, survivors have had to apply personal strengths they may not have known they possessed. They also had to acquire an appreciation for the talents of others, those who are there for their support. At the end of the journey, they are forever changed. In straightforward terms: Adversity Often Leads to Personal Growth.
These experiences will resonate with anyone that has experience adversity in their lives. The journey is difficult, but when one succeeds, there is a rush of excitement and that same sense of accomplishment. The journey ultimately become less about getting to the top, and more about the self-knowledge and wisdom one learns along the way. When all is said and done, life goes forward, with a dramatically altered perspective. Priorities are re-ordered. Life is a gift and not a single minute should be “un-lived”
Testimonials:

- This was an amazing experience - I knew it would be. Dr. Deming is fantastic. It really made us think and be present and plan for an event in the future. We were all so jazzed about this experience.

- Unbelievably inspirational.
