A Complete Stranger. A Life-Giving Donation.
One evening, out of the blue, Crystal blacked out at home. She was rushed to the ER where she learned she had acute myeloid leukemia. She needed a transplant. And a young marine was the donor who saved her life. Read her story.
Crystal was taking a shower when she started to feel sick to her stomach. She was out of breath and couldn't find her balance. Moments later, she passed out. The EMS brought her to AdventHealth for treatment and tests. After the bloodwork was complete, the doctors told her she had acute myeloid leukemia and needed a bone marrow transplant to survive. Crystal's brother and sister were tested, hoping they could be a donor for her. But, when neither was a close enough match, Crystal was added to the donor list soon after.
As fate would have it, a healthy, 21-year-old U.S. marine appeared in the database. He was a perfect match. Crystal was overjoyed to have a donor. The procedure was a success and Crystal moved into recovery. Two months after the transplant, while she was in remission, Crystal's donor was deployed to Afghanistan. Her personal hero became a national hero when he died serving his country. Crystal was heartbroken that she never got to thank him for all he had done for her. But she's forever grateful for the young marine who saved her life and helped her on her path to feeling whole again.

The conclusion instead came nearly five hours after Verstappen became the first Dutch champion in F1 history, when the FIA denied a pair of protests lodged by Mercedes over the controversial finish of Sunday’s race.
But the messy affair still isn’t over: Mercedes filed for reconsideration to the International Court of Appeal, turning in the paperwork as Hamilton left Yas Marina Circuit without commenting.
“Not much really to say about that. I think it also sums up a little bit the season,” Verstappen said hours earlier as the FIA heard Mercedes‘ two protests.
Hamilton had a record eighth championship ripped away with five laps remaining when a crash by Nicholas Latifi triggered the safety car and gave race director Michael Masi a decision. The season-ending race and championship could be decided under yellow, or, the track could be cleaned for one final lap of racing.
Hamilton had been on cruise control and dominated Sunday after surging past pole-sitter Verstappen at the start. He led 51 of the 58 laps and was minutes away from breaking a tie with Michael Schumacher for an eighth title that would strengthen his case as best in F1 history.
The decision by Masi to go green with a lap to go allowed Verstappen to pass Hamilton in turn five — Hamilton got a good look at the lead in turn nine but couldn’t complete the move — in a stunning conclusion to a title fight that will go down as one of the best ever.
Verstappen and Hamilton arrived in Abu Dhabi tied in the standings after 21 races across four continents, the first time since 1974 the contenders were level ahead of the finale. The rivals went wheel-to-wheel all season, crashing three times with Verstappen sent to the hospital after a collision at Silverstone.
It made for a bitter feud between Mercedes and Red Bull that intensified this high-stakes and sometimes chaotic title fight. It was compelling action every week, on-and-off track drama likened to the epic championship battles of James Hunt and Niki Lauda in 1976, and Ayrton Senna and Alain Prost in 1990.
Hamilton, winner of three straight races coming into the finale to even the fight, had this one in hand and knew it until the Latifi crash. Whatever Hamilton said over his radio when Latifi brought out the safety car was replayed only as one long bleep to cover his expletives.
Masi controversially settled to resume racing with one final lap — the only chance for Red Bull, which lobbied to go back to green. Verstappen chased Hamilton through the first four turns, made his pass in five and at last achieved his childhood dream.
Verstappen and Red Bull celebrated in a champagne soak, he received hugs from his fellow competitors — including Hamilton and Hamilton‘s father — and made his way to the DJ stand to jump wildly up and down to the music. The “Orange Army” of Dutch fans erupted in joy and fired off their traditional orange flares. The fans also chanted Latifi’s name in appreciation as they exited the circuit.
And that was how this gripping season ended, with the more dominant team atop the final podium.
Verstappen‘s 10 victories this year equaled the number of wins scored over his first six seasons in F1, and he led an F1-high 652 of the 1,211 laps while scoring 18 podium finishes.
But he‘d been criticized for aggressive driving with Hamilton himself saying Verstappen was over the edge. Verstappen had complained all weekend he‘s been treated unfairly by the race stewards, who he believed held him to a higher standard than other drivers.
He repeated that he wanted race control to play no role in the finale, but when Masi did, it went in Verstappen‘s favor.
Hamilton, who turns 37 next month, used a late season surge to knock all 19 points off Verstappen‘s lead in the standings. But his eight wins this season are the fewest for Hamilton since 2013, when he only won once and finished fourth in the standings.
Hamilton received a long hug from his father, who then went to the Red Bull garage and hugged both Verstappen and Verstappen‘s father. Jos Verstappen was himself a former F1 driver and raised his 24-year-old son to become a world champion.
Jos Verstappen, a one-time teammate of Schumacher, was winless in 107 races over eight seasons.The US Small Business Administration Disaster Assistance Program has been approved for those impacted by the January 25, 2021 tornado.
