Meet Varun
Varun is a remarkable teenager whose resilience inspires everyone around him. In 2021, after experiencing persistent leg pain while playing squash—his favorite sport—he was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma, a rare bone cancer. Despite undergoing extensive treatments, including chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, he faced a relapse in 2023, requiring additional rounds of treatment. Varun’s determination and strength have earned him the nickname “Bionic Boy,” reflecting his titanium hip replacement. While treatments have impacted his mobility, his optimism never wavers. He draws strength from his family, community, and the encouragement of friends who’ve supported him every step of the way.
In late August of 2025, Varun unfortunately passed away. His legacy and spirit will live on through Sunset High School forever.
