Meet Jukeen Prentice, 29-year-old donor

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.

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.

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.
