September is #bloodcancerawarenessmonth ! If you’ve ever thought about joining the @bethematch Bone Marrow Registry, Eric made a video with some reasons why you should. We’ve come a long way! The last statistic I heard, 75% of matched donors will be donating stem cells, not bone marrow. We have members of this team with first hand experience who can answer any questions you have about what that looks like. The sad truth, they’ve have to revise the process to join the registry because too many matched donors on that list decline to follow through. So if you’re thinking about it, but you’re not committed, please don’t sign up. There’s nothing more soul crushing than being gifted a glimpse of hope only to find out your match isn’t willing to donate. You are likely that person’s only chance of survival. If you sign up or have previously, please let us know! We’d love to publish your name to our L.I.F.E. Marrow Team! 🧡🩸🎗 “It would be a lot better situation for a lot of people if there were more people on that list.” Love to you all!

Hard to believe it's been nearly 10 years since Eric left us. Today not only marks his birthday, but it's also the day that we announce each year the recipient(s) of the annual L.I.F.E. Survivor Grant.

To anyone that has donated to the organization this past year, thank you so much for helping to L.I.F.E. going! Please consider a donation by clicking the following link: https://givetolife.org/donate/ Thanks to your generosity, we are able to help not one, but FOUR, very deserving cancer patients this year who desperately need the help!

Meet Jaimylee Buss, a 26-year-old mother from Readstown, WI. With 2 small children at home, Jaimy was diagnosed with T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ATLL) in February of this year. She is currently in remission, and this Friday 7/22 she will undergo a bone marrow transplant. Good luck Jaimy, we're all pulling for you!!

Side note - it is difficult and rare for cancer patients to find a match in the bone marrow registry, so if you haven't registered yet, and are between the age of 18 and 35, please learn how at https://givetolife.org/team-life/marrow-team/

We will be announcing the other 3 recipients very soon!

The @todayshow is 70 years old! It’s been in the background soundtrack of my mornings for as long as I can remember. My favorite morning of Today? Unexpectedly spotting a familiar face on a familiar shirt in the plaza! @givetolife #ispywithmylittleeye, something orange! 🧡🎗

Eric McLean took his last breath 9 years ago today, on his older brother’s 30th birthday. While it’s hard to ignore the heartache that today brings, we try to make this day about celebrating Mike, his first bone marrow donor and one of his biggest fans. The bond these two shared moved mountains. Please join Eric and the rest of us in wishing Mike a Happy Birthday. We hope the sunshine of this day can overcome the shadow of one of our darkest. Happy Birthday, Mike! 🧡🎗 #brothersforlife #bloodbrothers #ironman #ironmike

On this day 9 years ago, the last picture of Eric was taken. Both ex-Milwaukee Brewer and World Series Champion Larry Hisle, and ex-Green Bay Packer and Superbowl Champion William Henderson came to visit Eric at his parents’ home in Two Rivers. He got to wear both a World Series ring and a Superbowl ring on the same hand, at the same time! Thank you again and always for this memory, Mr. Hisle and Mr. Henderson. 🧡🎗#champions #inhonor #inmemory #leukemiaawareness @larryhisle @brewers @packers @letsfcancer
