For two years, Miranda Webber has dreamed of giving back to Canada’s Lifeline to thank the stem cell and blood donors she’s come to rely on.
This year, to celebrate her first anniversary, or “re-birthday”, following a lifesaving stem cell transplant from an anonymous donor, she started a fundraising campaign which is doing just that.
“Every time I sit in the hospital getting a transfusion — and I see the many other people getting a transfusion as well — I just think, this wouldn’t be happening without Canadian Blood Services and its donors,” says Miranda. “I knew it was the place I wanted to give back to because it’s given me so much.”
Miranda’s online campaign using Canadian Blood Services do-it-yourself tool, raised an incredible amount of financial support in record time. She’s also inspired people to donate blood and join the stem cell registry by sharing her health journey and the significance of donors in her and her family’s life.
