Following more than a decade of treatments, cancer survivor Laurie Adami now plans to tackle the world’s tallest mountain to raise awareness of the drugs that saved her life.

Ms Adami’s fight with the disease began in 2006 when she was diagnosed with an incurable form of blood cancer, stage IV follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma.

Over the next 12 years, Ms Adami underwent six different kinds of treatment, including multiple rounds of chemo and participation in a number of clinical studies.
