Reviews and Feedback

Puget Sound Blood Center
"This program offers a compelling and educational look at the bone marrow donation process and the positive impact all donors can have on the lives of those in need. Incorporating creative animation with the real gravity of a human story, this program is sure to leave its viewers both moved and informed."

Marcia Lewis, Caregiver
"The caregiver's role in the video resonated with me. She gave infusions, managed medications and calculated nutrition while giving loving care. Her determination helped TJ through the worst of it. This video is a heart-warming portrayal."

Robert Lewis, M.D., Transplant recipient
"As a physician and former patient, I feel that this film gives an accurate portrayal of the clinical course of a typical stem cell transplant."

Beth Blanchard
"You/your crew did an excellent job of growing the viewer's emotional involvement as we got to know the personalities. The girlfriend was an engaging character - with such dedication and commitment."
