Software engineer Elden Yee’s feat inspired his doctor to form a stair-climbing group for lung cancer patients. A final-stage lung cancer patient in his 30s has climbed Mount Kinabalu in Malaysia, a little over a year after he was diagnosed.

“I climbed it to get affirmation that I could. I wanted to dispel the notion that having stage 4 lung cancer means giving up on life. It’s not the end of life.” – Elden Yee
