Next week, Sam will meet someone whose life he helped change.

It all started when he joined the NMDP Registry as a college freshman. Seven years later, Sam learned he was a blood stem cell donor match for a patient facing leukemia and didn't hesitate to say yes. And when that same patient needed a second donation, Sam stepped up once again.

Now, Sam and his recipient, Ankit, are preparing to meet for the very first time at The .

13 years ago, Melody met Michael—a colleague who beat leukemia thanks to a heroic blood stem cell donor. His story of resilience stayed with her.

In 2021, Melody faced her own crisis: a severe leg injury that meant surgeries, a year of recovery and a long road back. When she needed help, Michael showed up for her with the same compassion his donor once showed him. 💙

As she healed, Melody found ultramarathons. The grit and determination reminded her of Michael's fight—and the stranger who made it winnable.

Now, she's dedicating her 13th ultramarathon and 4th 100-mile race at the Javelina 100 to NMDP through our Fundraise Your Way program. She's running for patients still waiting for a match, families praying for a miracle and the strangers who step forward to save lives.
