raiseRED Gift of Life Marrow Registry

In the spring 2024 issue of Univerisity of Louisville magazine, raiseRED dancer Sophie Doszak was a featured spotlight. During the 2022 dance marathon, Gift of Life Marrow Registry swabbed Sophie's cheek, and last year, she matched with and then donated bone marrow to a 51-year-old leukemia patient. "I would not have donated with raiseRED," Sophie said. "Seeing the impact that you can have on someone's life made me wish I had gotten on the donor list a long time ago. Most of the time it takes years to finally match with someone, and I was lucky enough to match with someone and give my gift of life to someone who needed another chance at life."
