Bodhi’s stem cell donation journey

Bodhi, a stem cell donor from NSW, has filmed his stem cell donation journey so you can see what happens leading up to and on donation day. While a blood donation involves booking an appointment and turning up, stem cell donation has a few extra steps to ensure you, as a donor, are fit and healthy to donate.

Bodhi’s short documentary provides a raw and real-life step-by-step account of what he did to prepare for and donate his stem cells. His heart-warming, funny, determined and positive attitude turns what feels like a rather clinical procedure into a truly humbling, impactful and utterly emotional human experience. The simple gift of stem cells has the most profound and direct impact that can truly transform the life of someone with blood cancer or a blood disorder. It has the power to offer the hope of a cure.

Stem cell donation is a unique volunteering experience and knowing what’s involved can better prepare you in case we ask you to donate.
