In 2023, at the age of 27, I was diagnosed with Hodgkin lymphoma. Like many people facing cancer, my life changed overnight.

After several months of treatment, I was fortunate to reach remission. At the time, I believed this chapter was behind me. Unfortunately, in 2025, the cancer returned.

I had to start the fight all over again: Chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and eventually an autologous stem cell transplant. This journey was physically and emotionally demanding, but it also showed me just how much research, medical innovation, and the support of organizations like the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada truly change lives.

Today, I’m doing well. I’m slowly getting back to a normal life, something I no longer take for granted.

If I’ve made it this far, it’s thanks to the treatments developed over the years, the incredible medical teams who supported me every step of the way, and most of all, the unconditional support of my loved ones.

That’s also why I chose to get involved with the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada.

This campaign is my way of giving back and helping move research forward for those who are currently facing a blood cancer diagnosis.

Every donation, big or small, makes a real difference.

If my story resonates with you, I invite you to support the campaign or share it within your network. No matter the amount, every gesture counts and truly makes an impact.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for supporting this cause that is so close to me. Whether through a donation or simply by sharing this campaign, every action matters.

With all my gratitude,

Alexandra
