Why we are doing this
Darren's Story
I am 2 years CANCER FREE!
Yup, I am now part of THAT club. Two and a half years ago, I was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma. It was definitely a setback at the time as I was not expecting to get a big C diagnosis but I was one of the lucky ones. After only 6 rounds of chemo, I was "cured", receiving my official remission results on Sept 7, 2016. To date, I have been very reluctant to share this information on social media as I was worried of what the repercussions might be and how they could be used against me in the future.
I can now say that I am back to normal, working full time and keeping active with many hobbies and sports. For this reason, it is time for me to give back by paying it forward.
I have started the Laughter 4 Cancer foundation with the sole purpose of raising money in support of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC). The primary fundraising activities center around a night of comedy at a local comedy club.
Thank you for your time and support of this worthy cause.
