Thank you for featuring the story on Jillian, I always feel like this could never happen to my family. we are healthy, so we are safe! I have a daughter jillians age and it just really hit home after seeing the picture of the young family and they look just like my young family! That could have just as easily been my daughter! Thank you for shining a light on this, I plan to donate blood and get swabbed for a bone marrow match. If not Jillian I hope to help someone else. I look forward to the article in the future that tells me they have a match and Jillian is back home with her family!
