For Lachlan, donating his blood stem cells was a positive experience he often thinks about years later. When he received the call letting him know he was a potential match for someone with blood cancer, he didn’t hesitate to say yes. At the time of registering, he didn’t realise his decision would change someone’s life in such a profound way.
