21-Year-Old Cancer Survivor Celebrated at London Pride

Friends and family of LGBT activist Dean Eastmond screened a video on London Pride's main stage about his accomplishments since being diagnosed with cancer.

Dean Eastmond said following his surprise:

"I was so overwhelmed and shocked! When the drag queen on tage mentioned a 21-year-old with cancer, my initial reaction was Oh, wow, there's someone here like me. It took a while for it to click on that she was talking about me! The video has really shown me how important my friends are to me and (apparently) how important I am to them! I have no idea how they kept it as quiet as they did, but it was a beautiful last moment until I restart chemotherapy."
