An Oklahoma University sophomore is fundraising for a nonprofit organization that works to match patients fighting cancer with donors.
Every three minutes, someone is diagnosed with a blood cancer. In 2018, Natalie Brockâs father became a part of that statistic when he was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkinâs Lymphoma.
Be The Match helped her father find a stem cell donor for his transplant, and he is now in remission. Now Brock looks to give back to the organization that saved her fatherâs life.
