Hello and welcome to the Lupus Ontario Podcast.

With the return to school upon us for so many in Ontario, throughout the month of September we will be speaking with students to share what life with lupus is like as they strive to succeed in academics and with student life.

If you are at all interested in understanding what student life can be like while confronting an illness, then you’ll find our conversations absolutely fascinating. Hunter Hogarth begins our series. Hunter is entering his 3rd year at Queens University studying Biology.

Hunter takes us through his journey of being diagnosed with lupus at a very young age, as well as battling other conditions at the time of diagnosis such as Chorea. He speaks about the power of keeping a positive outlook, as well as the desire to give back to SickKids Hospital where the medical professionals had such a profound impact on him at an early age.
