Have you ever heard the heroic stories of a person in need of a transplant and someone, heart in hand, coming to their rescue? The patient being ever so grateful and going on to live a long and fulfilling life. We may never witness a story like this in our own realities, yet, it is very real to so many around the world. At this very moment, there are over 106,000 people on a list awaiting a transplant in the United States. These people live their day to day lives wondering if they will ever have the chance to live a healthy, carefree life again. Our founder, Jenny Beeghly, was one of these patients. She was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant urgently. Luckily, she was matched with someone and was given the life saving transplant. Not so many others are as fortunate as Jenny was. As we reflect on the lengthy waiting list, we must keep in mind that we have the power to change a life. Perilla works to bring awareness to the Be the Match registry and urge everyone to register. You could be the hero of someone’s story. Register for Be the Match today.
