I was called to donate bone marrow not once but TWICE. This was my experience.

It was my freshman year at Saint Louis University. I came across a bone marrow donor drive hosted by Camp Kaseem on campus. I thought this could be a way to help others and give someone a second chance at life. I wanted to do that, if I could be so fortunate. I swabbed and went on my way.

My Exciting Life as a Bone Marrow Donor

Life is for living. It's for having new experiences, meeting new people, and exploring new places. It's not something I take for granted. So when I found out I had the opportunity to give someone a new lease on life, I said yes right away.

My name is Alexis St. John and I am a bone marrow donor.
