January Courier trip

This is what a bone marrow donor looks like. BMB was picked up at the airport by this friendly guy and was taken to the lab to drop off the product. On the way to the hotel a conversation ensued and it was revealed what BMB was delivering, at which point the driver confessed that he was a bone marrow donor. Seven years previously he got " the call". His recipient was a 7 year old girl. He has had the opportunity to contact the family but has not. For him, the privilege of donating was enough. He is not curious except to know that the girl is doing well. This is the face of the majority of donors.
