Two things stand out from that first day, seven years ago, that I heard the words "you have cancer." I remember dropping to the floor under the weight of those words.
Thirteen year old Jared from Pennsylvania decided to make Gift of Life his Bar Mitzvah project because his family knows someone who needs a bone marrow transplant.
In 2003, Amy Katz was diagnosed with leukemia. When Kate Rosenthal heard that news, she knew that she had to do everything in her power to help the family to find that life-saving match for Amy.
When donor Scott Spicer returned home after he donated his blood stem cells in October 2007, he knew that what he had just experienced was something unique and became inspired to "get the word out."
After their tremendously successful bone marrow drives last year, the Yeshiva University Student Medical Ethics Society has come up with a fresh twist for this year's recruitment program. B.A.M!!!
Two Gift of Life donors, Pamela Lack and Avi Amsalem, shared their experiences in public recently at Birthright Israel's Annual Gala and Yeshiva University's Hanakkah Dinner.
