October
October is football season for me. But last year I chose to sit on the sidelines because a patient needed my help—my marrow. Thankfully, I had the full support of my team. As my coach said, “The choice between a football game and saving someone’s life … It’s a no brainer.”
Donating was a truly meaningful experience and I would do it again. I dedicate my day to the true heroes—the patients who must fight for their lives.
