In December 2010, our Brand Director, Jill Thompson, received a phone call from the National Bone Marrow Registry that she was a match for a stranger. After further testing, they determined that Jill was a near-perfect match for a 64-year-old man with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, and a bone marrow transplant was scheduled.
Fast forward several years, this man was grateful for the transplant but his body was too weak to survive it. His widow found Jill and a beautiful friendship was forged. These ladies have formed a friendship that goes deeper than the bones….right into the marrow! Every year, Marla donates to Inheritance of Hope to offer hope and community to families facing terminal illness. She does this to honor her late husband, Montie, and his bone marrow donor, Jill.
This story has many heroes! You can join this story and be another hero by supporting Inheritance of Hope’s mission. Your gifts are being matched today by Marla Duncan, in memory of Montie.
