Several years ago, then-college student Dax Hurst registered at a stem cell and bone marrow donation center. It was a simple act for humanity at the time…but years later, it proved life-saving. Dax matched perfectly with a baby boy suffering with a severe immunodeficiency disorder. Dax's bone marrow donation saved the baby's life…and the two got the chance to meet in person. Their incredible story exemplifies how love is given and received in endless ways…sometimes even between strangers.
