Congrats Jeff! Also, this sounds weird, but great video work by the Be The Match team. Answered a lot of simple yet important questions that many of us may have had. Very inviting and comforting.

Thank you! I have been matched and am donating in October. My family in concerned, so this helps them understand that it is safe and I will be fine. I am excited to do this and happy to hear you had no problems.

[@KathrynStaton]

That is the most selfless act of kindness one person can do for another. We should all be so privileged. Thank you for sharing your journey.

Can you share info about your blood analysys changes after 3 years?

[@jwatso01]

Just to clarify, was the other man in the video the recipient? His title (in the video's lower thirds) said "PBSC Donor" which was a little confusing. And is it true that you can't one-on-one personally meet each other until a year after? But way to go, Jeff! Very cool. You've saved a life! I am happy to be in the registry and ready to get called in any time I may be needed :)

[@meghanmcdonaldcarlson2706]

Jeff donated to a 48-year-old, so I think the fella to which you're referring is another donor. "B Roll," methinks. I'm excited to be in the registry, too! Be sure to always update your info, if anything changes (moving, pregnancy, etc.)

[@babybluewhetstone1387]

I donate blood and I have donate platelets. I'm going to give it a try. I have healthy 4 kids. I want to help kids with cancer. My heart goes out to parents who have to watch their child slowly fade away it leaves a scar on your heart that never heals.
