Lauren McCormack ’07: Giving the gift of life

One year ago Lauren McCormack ’07 registered with the National Marrow Donor Program to see if she matched a need. She did. Lauren’s bone marrow matched that of a 51-year old woman, who today has been cancer-free for a year. “I’m so, so happy to learn that my recipient is doing well and is disease-free,” said Lauren, who is currently in the pre-nursing program at the University of Hawaii. “Saving a life is a rare opportunity that not many people are able to experience, especially when they are just 20 years old. The whole process was so incredible and I’d really like the opportunity to encourage others to join the registry!”

In her own words, Lauren describes her experience.

A physician’s assistant specializing in tactical, operational and emergency medicine in Maryland, Mark had lived in Haiti for three months in 2009 as a medical officer with a team of U.S. law enforcement personnel. That experience, combined with 16 years in the U.S. Army—including four years as a Special Forces medic and five years as a combat-arms battalion physician’s assistant—made him an ideal candidate to offer aid.
