Cancer gave me a new appreciation for life, health, and community. I now live each day to the fullest, staying active, giving back, and supporting the LLSC through volunteering and fundraising. Today, I’m in remission and proud to be a Bright Light — standing with survivors, honouring those we’ve lost, and fighting for a future where every blood cancer story ends with hope.

My name is Warren Dietrich, and in April 2017, at 23 years old, I was diagnosed with stage 2B Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. My plans for a summer engineering co-op quickly shifted to months of chemotherapy, radiation, a stem cell transplant, and ongoing treatments. Many didn’t go as planned, but I never lost hope — knowing that innovative research, much of it funded by the LLSC, brings us closer to a cure.
