Five-year-old honorary Dighton firefighter Grant Medeiros and 31-year-old Graeme Ossey already had a lot in common when they met for the first time recently in Boca Raton, Florida. Ossey was Grant’s bone marrow donor and they recently got a chance to meet each other at the Gift of Life Marrow Registry’s Steps for Life 5k Run/Walk South Florida.

Four-year-old Grant Medeiros of Dighton was diagnosed with leukemia in 2017. He’s spent several long stints in Boston Children’s Hospital, has had multiple surgeries, and received a bone marrow transplant in June 2018. Now that he’s cancer-free, Grant was able to meet the man who helped save his life.

A lifesaving, 31-year-old Chicago resident finally met the 4-year-old, Massachusetts boy whose life he saved two years ago after donating bone marrow through the Gift of Life Marrow Registry. The emotional meeting took place yesterday during the Gift of Life's Steps for Life 5k Run & Walk, held at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.

Overwatch League team Florida Mayhem will be fighting to cure blood cancer at the Steps for Life 5K event this upcoming Sunday. Florida Mayhem has joined forces with Gift of Life, an organization dedicated to saving lives through bone marrow and stem cell transplants. We're walking (and running) for a cure!

Eric Steger donates a lot — not money, but parts of his body. And he gives them to people he doesn’t know. In 2007, the 50-year-old Sunnyvale man donated bone marrow to a dying woman in Maryland, saving her life. In 2010, he flew to Israel to donate a kidney to a desperately ill woman, but he was rejected when doctors diagnosed him with hypertension. Last week, he donated part of his liver to a rabbi living in Iowa.
