February
I joined Be The Match Registry when my brother was fighting for his life and needed a marrow transplant. Sadly, I was not a match and he didn’t survive. But two years later, I was called as the match for a stranger in need of a cure.
The call hit close to home and brought back memories of my brother. After speaking with my family, I decided I would go forward with the process in honor of him.
I dedicate February 19—the day I lost my brother—in his memory.
— Linda, marrow donor
