Make Conversation Encouraging Organ & Marrow Donation: In 1996, I donated my bone marrow to my sister who was six at the time & sick with Aplastic Anemia, a deadly disease where the bone marrow stops producing new blood cells. She has since recovered & lives a thriving, normal & healthy life. This life experience shaped much of who I am today.  My platform is to encourage others to sign up for organ or bone marrow donation. Anyone can give a small piece of themselves and save someone’s life.
