“Anam Cara” The Soul Friends | EP 11

About the Episode

Meet donor extraordinaire Jeramy Davies.  He’s not only a bone marrow expert, but he is a two-time donor, having donated both bone marrow and a kidney to the same person.  This in itself is unique to have donated twice, but so is his story.  Jeramy and his recipient Kelly have not only crushed her Hodgkin’s Lymphoma together, but they have created a lifetime bond through the process.

For the thousands of people diagnosed every year with life-threatening blood cancers like leukemia and lymphoma, a cure exists. They can get a bone marrow transplant and be cured of their disease.  Over the past 30 years Be the Match operated by the National Marrow Donor Program, has managed the most diverse marrow registry in the world. They work every day to save lives through transplant.

Check out this incredible story of two strangers brought together by chance, who share much more with one another than kidneys and bone marrow.
