I became a bone marrow donor in 1999. The recipient's name was Brett and he and his family had been fighting leukemia for years. Tests determined my marrow was the best match, and the process of donation was one of the most enriching experiences of my life.
Every year, thousands of people of all ages are diagnosed with leukemia and other life-threatening diseases. Many of them will die unless they get a bone marrow or cord blood transplant from a matching donor.
Seventy percent of people do not have a donor in their family and depend on The National Marrow Donor Program to find a match to save their life.
