From Jake Sachse, Founder of Be An Angel

            My inspiration for launching the Be An Angel Save A Life campaign came from my father’s long struggle with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. After many rounds of Chemotherapy and Radiation treatment he was forced to undergo his first stem cell transplant. Unfortunately three years later he needed a second stem cell transplant this time using an unrelated donor. Thankfully City of Hope found my fathers angel through the National Marrow Donor Program. Thanks to this program he is alive today...

"A wonderful woman & perfect stranger generously gave me & my family the most incredible gift of life - her stem cells. She is my angel. This is a bond for which I will forever be grateful. Everyone can be that angel. It is remarkable that just by sitting in a chair for a few hours we all have the power to save a life and give the most incredible gift of all...hope."  - Ed Sachse
