Because of a blood stem cell transplant, Latral gets to keep doing what she loves: caring for others 💙

After being diagnosed with leukemia in 2014, she received a life-saving transplant from her selfless donor, Raykell. Today, Latral is thriving as a registered nurse and will join us next week during WCCO Radio's Cure Blood Cancer Radio Auction.

Catch the livestream on June 17 to hear Latral's inspiring story and bid on live auction items to help make more second chances possible. Get all the details at the link 👉 https://bit.ly/4aDHkjD

Every year, thousands of transplant recipients are diagnosed with Graft-Versus-Host Disease (GVHD). Nicole was one of them.

"GVHD was draining - both mentally and physically. Imagine going through a treatment so taxing on your mental and physical health, just to go through even more while trying to recover. It felt like another block." -Nicole

That’s why we created an educational video—to help patients and caregivers understand what to expect, and how to navigate GVHD with confidence. Watch now 👇

When Nicole needed a blood stem cell transplant to survive leukemia, her future depended on a stranger.

A woman in Germany she had never met answered the call.

Her donation meant more birthdays. Bedtime stories. Family vacations. A mother who would still be there for her children.

"That’s the remarkable thing about stem cell donation. The impact is rarely limited to one person." - Nicole

Today, Nicole is helping extend that impact. Through NMDP Fundraise Your Way, she’s raising funds to help give more patients and families the same chance she received. Now, she’s set a goal of raising $5,000—and she’s almost there!
