More to Live For
March 3rd, 2013
Recently, I watched a documentary More to Live For which shared the story of three unrelated men battling blood cancer. One of them was Michael Brecker, a famous jazz saxophone player that I had listened to for many years. I learned about the struggle these men endured trying to find a bone marrow donor. The problem was the donor registry was relatively small and not many people knew about it. Unfortunately, Michael Brecker was unable to find an exact match and we lost him in January 2007.
After watching the film, I decided I had to do my part and get on the registry. If I could save a life just by donating my bone marrow then I had to do it. Help spread the word!
