"Not he who has much is rich, but he who gives much." --Erich Fromm

The Gift

After witnessing a friend survive Lupus thanks to a generous marrow donor, Brooks Dame became inspired to " help someone out with a small little miracle of their own” and signed up to be a bone marrow donor, a painful and dangerous procedure. A year later Brooks received a call that a match was found; a 30 year old man with a wife and kids was desperately fighting Leukemia. Nervous, but buoyed by the opportunity to help the man, Brooks flew to Denver to donate his marrow, and help save a life.
