Undercover life saver I save lives. I do. I don’t mean it metaphorically either; I mean it quite literally. I don’t do it alone, not by a long shot.
I don’t run into burning buildings. I’ve never had to take my CPR skills out in the real world. I have yet to suck the poison out of anyone’s body.
But I am a bone marrow courier. And every time I take a journey, a life is saved. It’s kind of amazing when you think about it: One person is sick.
Another person’s body holds the fix. But the two might never meet. That’s where the National Marrow Donor Program (NMDP) registry comes in.
