In 2007, Jukeen's older sister donated bone marrow. Jukeen thought it was great that she was doing something that could save a complete strangers life.

In 2008, he had the opportunity to register for the Be The Match Registry at Lee College. It wasn't until early 2015 that Jukeen got the call that he was a match, as well.

While Jukeen can't meet his recipient yet he has been told he is doing well and is back at work.

Meet Jukeen

Jukeen has saved a life. Wil you get on the registry, too?

Join us in September as we work to save lives in our Month to Match.

Meet Hannah, 6 years old and looking for a match

When Hannah was about 3 1/2 - 4yrs old my husband, Bruce, noticed bruising on her shins. She never cried as if she'd been hurt and when he'd ask her about it she would say she didn't know where she got them.

Meet Paul Mendoza, 50-year-old donor

My parents taught me the importance of being a blood donor early on in my life. It is the simplest and most valued gift we can give someone. We are healthy and should look out for those that need our help.

Meet Sean Ling, 20-year-old donor

I joined the registry in the summer of 2014. I was approached by a woman named Carrie who basically told me about the program and how joining the registry would allow me to potentially save a person's life.
