He survived leukemia.

After that near death experience he finally unlocked a passion and energy for life that he had never known. The key was taming his fears. "I’ve seen too many people spend a lifetime working for the weekend and saying, 'I wish I could do that...' Life is meant to be fun and I discovered that I could change the story I was telling myself and find adventure in my life again. All your dreams are on the other side of fear." Sweeney needed to do it for himself, for his kids and for the people in his life that mattered the most. He's living life to its fullest, exploring the adventurer within, breaking world records and embracing every day as if it were his last. His mission is to help others do the same, to become better partners, parents and people.

He is also the first person to attempt cycling the seven summits. In Feb 2015 he became the first person to officially bike to Everest Base Camp in Nepal, the summit of Kilimanjaro and the summit of Elbrus.

His mission is to help millions around the world use fear as fuel.
