We are sad to share the news that one of the world's foremost #CLL patient advocates Chris Dwyer, of CLL Canada, has left us.
A recent winner of the inaugral CLL Heroes Awards, Chris launched the Facebook group Bad to the Bone – Living with CLL, and many in our community will also have benefitted from his contributions through the online CLL forums including HealthUnlocked.
Chris founded the CLL Canada informational website. He volunteered at a board level for the CLL Patient Advocacy Group in Canada and was instrumental in launching CLL Live, an international, three-day, patient-focused conference. His work has inspired many patients to become advocates themselves.
Heaven has gained a true warrior but our world is the poorer for his passing.
