What do you do when you’ve achieved your dreams only to realize- your work’s just begun? In January of 2018, Chris Bombardier became the first person with severe hemophilia to complete The Seven Summits. It was the end of an adventure, and the start of a whole new chapter in Chris’s life. From the team behind the documentary Bombardier Blood comes a podcast for adventurers, bleeders, and anyone who’s ever chased a dream. Join Chris for a brand new, seven-episode adventure launching on May 22, 2022, the five-year anniversary of Chris’s reaching the top of Mount Everest.

The Final Summit. Season 2 Teaser Trailer
No matter the country, no matter the peak, there are some things that connect us all. We all breathe. We all dream. We all bleed. You see things differently when you’re standing on top of the world.
In 2018 Chris Bombardier became the first mountaineer with hemophilia to successfully climb the Seven Summits, the tallest mountain on each of the seven continents. But that was just the beginning of his journey. What he saw on his adventures, both from the mountain tops and in the surrounding villages, inspired and changed him. In the years since his climbs, Chris channeled my spirit and ambition towards a new frontier: advocacy and global healthcare through my work at Save One Life.
