Rachell was born with severe aplastic anemia. Her only chance to survive was a bone marrow transplant. Her family looked for a compatible donor for five years. Their search finished when the Brazilian dancer Jefferson joined the Be The Match registry in Boston in one of the Icla da Silva Foundation marrow drives.
Rachel and Jefferson met in NYC for the first time last September.
