Newspaper article re Donor and Recipient Meetings
Hi
I thought I would share this with, it's about a recent newspaper article.
On Tuesday 2/12/14 there was an article in the Independent newspaper, Section2/Life entitled,'My perfect match'.
It tells the story of a young lady journalist who had a stem cell transplant recently from an unrelated donor to treat her leukaemia and how one day she would like to meet him.
She poses the question 'What do you say to someone who has saved your life' They have so far corresponded anonymously.
It is a moving, really interesting and well written article.
We are also given a report of a recent meeting between Dave and Peter, a donor and recipient which is really informative.
The article can be viewed by opening the attached link.
Do have a look, I hope you too find it interesting and helpful.

I thought you'd be interested to see this clip from ITV this morning of Lisa talking about meeting her donor Neil. http://www.itv.com/lorraine/hot-topics/meeting-my-donor
Their full story will be featured tomorrow evening Tuesday 17th Feb on The Gift (BBC One) at 9pm. We're all going to be tuning in - it should be very emotional as well as a great way to raise awareness.
