Finding a stem cell donor who matches a patient with blood cancer is rare. If you join the registry and end up matching a patient, you may become a life-saver. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

Michael is a giver. He donated his bone marrow, twice. Once with a stem cell transplant, and again through a bone marrow transplant. He gave, not knowing where, or to whom it was going. Thank you Michael.

On October 17, 2018, Aunesti Sullivan met the man who saved her life. One person gave and another received, and both are better as a result.

Andre saved a life by donating his bone marrow. He says it was easy. He joined the registry and said “yes” when he received the call to donate his bone marrow.  We are grateful that you saved a life Andre.

Jeffersen gave someone’s life back. He insists “you can’t explain it…it’s a marvelous feeling.” He says he would do it again, 10,000 times. We are grateful he did it once.

People are surprisingly positive and giving, kind and generous…I witnessed it first hand last weekend.
