In 1988, Pilgrim received a stage 3 testicular cancer diagnosis.
His lungs and kidneys were both affected by the aggressive type of the disease. He was deemed to be in remission following 9 months of chemotherapy.
Afterward, he served as an ambassador for CANSA (the South African Cancer Association) and a supporter of the Reach for a Dream Foundation.
He received a second cancer diagnosis in February 2022, this time for stage 4 lung cancer.
