'I'm here because of him' | A college student's decision saves life of young woman years later
A Missouri donor matched at 99% compatibility after signing up at a college booth, and his bone marrow transplant left Sabrie Sneller cancer-free.
- Sabrie Sneller, a 19-year-old cosmetology student, credits her survival to a bone marrow transplant from Brady Hughes, who was a 99% compatible match.
- Diagnosed with leukemia at 19, Sneller faced low odds; the National Marrow Donor Program reports 75% of blood cancer patients cannot find a suitable family donor.
- Hughes, a manufacturing engineer in Missouri, registered as a donor eight years ago; Sneller has been cancer-free for 18 months following the successful transplant.
- After exchanging contact information one year post-transplant, the pair met in Michigan, where Hughes said he now considers Sneller a "younger sister" and plans to attend her wedding later this year.
- With blood cancer diagnoses occurring every three to four minutes in the U.S., interested individuals can help by registering through the National Marrow Donor Program.
