Dillan Neufeld attended HMK and NACI, here in Neepawa. He is well known to this community for his kind heart, and athletic abilities. He played many sports at NACI, but the Tigers football team is where he really accelerated, and fell in love with football. Upon graduation he was awarded a scholarship, and played for the VI raiders in Nanaimo BC.
He had recently joined the Edmonton Huskies, a CJFL team and was living his dream.
In December of 2020 the Neufeld family was delivered the news that Dillan had been diagnosed with Angioimmunoblastic T-cell Lymphoma, a rare form of Non Hodgkin’s lymphoma, and he moved home to Arden to be close to his parents, Dan and Rhonda Neufeld, and begin treatments against this aggressive cancer. Dillan’s fight has had many ups and downs over the past 11 months.
Recently Dillan found out by his team of doctors, that the stem cell transplant they were hoping for is no longer an option for Dillan. The cancer keeps recurring in his cerebral spinal fluid, for which they do not have a cure. Dillan will continue to do treatment for as long as he can. They cannot give us a time frame as to how long the cancer will be controlled by therapy. So the goal is to live with the cancer since they cannot cure it. The most recent update was not good news. Rhonda said “Dillan had radiation done, but the outcome was not what we had hoped. The leukaemia part of his disease has come back. Dillan will continue to do what treatment he can for as long as he can”.
We will continue to do what we can with our fundraising efforts and are happy the community is joining us. – I Stand With Neuf 💚

All strategy aside – the basis of any and every comp is just to have a good time. Competitions are warm, welcoming environments that promote positivity and strength. There isn’t an athlete out there who doesn’t get the jitters in one way, shape, or form. But we’re all in it together, so it’s achievable and rewarding. Competitions are basically days full of yummy snacks (some healthy, some not so much…), friends (old and new), and having fun. Don’t overthink it, just sign up and let the good times roll. 👇👇👇
