Episode 2 of Gift of Friendship is jam packed with content, We talk to David Eisenbacher, an American man who donated his stem cells to Colleena Presnell as part of the International Bone Marrow registry. We hear from Julie Soon, a lawyer, about her journey with AML. Neil Pennock, a Director of the Arrow Bone Marrow Transplant Foundation tells us about the Australian Bone Marrow Registry and the drive for more local donors. Amanda McLaughlin the apheresis clinician at St Vincent's Hospital in Sydney, explains how stem cells are extracted from the donor. And of course, we wrap up with some great reads and podcasts to listen to.
