Furious Pete

Czerwinski has successfully battled testicular cancer twice in the past, both times going into remission. On February 16, 2017 he uploaded a video onto YouTube where he stated he was yet again battling cancer and it was testicular cancer, making this his third time fighting. In January, 2019 Czerwinski stated that the testicular cancer returned and had his second testicle surgically removed, requiring him to undergo testosterone replacement therapy for the rest of his life.

A direct-to-DVD documentary film, The Story of Furious Pete, chronicling Czerwinski's life, screened at the Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. The Furious "Pete" – which consists of 20 pieces of bacon and 20 pieces of cheese, alongside a five-pound platter of fries – is named after him, after Czerwinski became the first person in 1,500 attempts to finish it.
