http://www.bethematch.com - Rhonda Christenson was diagnosed with leukemia in 2007. Three months into her treatment, she was told that she needed a bone marrow transplant to survive. Chances of a perfect match were 1 in 20,000.

But thanks to a complete stranger, Rhonda got the blood stem cell donation that saved her life in June of 2008, and in October of 2009, they finally got the chance to meet each other.

You too can be a part of the cure. Join the national bone marrow and blood registry. It's as simple as a cheek swab.
