Your "No Big Deal" Gesture Can Save a Life

17,382 views
Wilson donated bone marrow to Alice, who was dying of leukemia. “I like to use the same phrase that all donors use – no big deal. One day only, no big deal.” Many of his friends and family advised against it, believing it not to be worth the risk. He decided to disregard their opinions and found that it really wasn’t so bad - it was no big deal. In fact, Wilson found it to be such a positive experience that he wound up working for the Bone Marrow Donation Programme. Two years later, Wilson and Alice met for the first time. “It’s really something, you know," says Alice. "It gives me a new outlook of life; what life means.”

Natures way to say we are all one, and when you give without expectations even of recognition you get back something very very valuable. The pure love!

I registered as a bone marrow transplant donor a number of years ago. At 74, I may be considered too old to give, but I hope not. I've used it--now you can use it!

I registered as a bone marrow donor years ago. I should check to make sure that registration is still there. I loved this video. Guess I better share it on f/b.

From Wilson I learned about https://www.ourbetterworld.org/. A beautiful website and I believe what Wilson done took some courage and meeting Alice for the first time was a wonderful idea
