Ian Toothill, a terminally ill cancer patient who has been given only months to live, climbed the world's highest mountain Qomolangma, also known as Mount Everest in the West.
He reached the summit on Monday and tweeted "Nothing to see here, just some cancer dude ... on the summit of Mount Everest."
Toothill, a personal trainer, raised more than $40,000 for the Macmillan Foundation, which provides nursing care and assistance for cancer patients in the United Kingdom.
