I recently met the man who donated bone marrow for the 2013 transplant that saved my life. It was a great experience, and the Green Bay Press Gazette ran a terrific article about it.

I thought you might be interested in reading it.

About the Author

Tim Moran was a teacher for 33 years at Southwest High School in Green Bay. During those 33 years he was the boys junior varsity basketball coach for six years and the boys varsity basketball coach for seven years. He then became athletic director and served in that position for 20 years. Tim was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia when he was 49. Medical experts call that type of leukemia an older man’s disease, and doctors told him he wouldn't need treatment for 15 to 20 years. Unfortunately, the pace and stress of his job caused him to go into treatment at age 54. This led to seven consecutive years of treatment until his bone marrow failed at 61. He underwent a bone marrow transplant at Froedtert Hospital.
