to Get In The Game and become part of Be The Match Registry, the cell registry that pairs potential donors with patients suffering from blood cancers.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>She thinks people who become potential donors are \u201clifesavers\u201d and \u201cheroes\u201d and that they are \u201cselfless.\u201d\u00a0 She\u2019s got firsthand knowledge of one of those donors, because Heather\u2019s dad Eddie Parman was the recipient of stem cells from Josh Gilreath.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Parman was diagnosed in 2011 with an aggressive form of bone cancer.\u00a0 Seven years after Josh Gilreath of Bowling Green, Kentucky, signed on as a potential donor, he matched the need for Mr. Parman.\u00a0 After the transfusion in 2012, Mr. Parman responded positively, but complications set in and he died.<\/p>\n<p>[tboot_column_wrap]<br \/>\n[tboot_column size=&#8221;6&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p><b>Don\u2019t be afraid to sign up<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Heather believes there is a gigantic misconception among college students about this lifesaving process.\u00a0 On Tuesday, February 25 from 9 a.m. \u2013 6 p.m. or Wednesday, February 26th from 9 a.m. \u2013 6 pm in the Tennessee Room of the UTC University Center, potential donors can take the first step.<br \/>\n[\/tboot_column]<br \/>\n[tboot_column size=&#8221;6&#8243;]<br \/>\n[tboot_well]<br \/>\nDonate blood to boost the supplies at Blood Assurance and at the same time, Get In The Game and be a potential marrow donor.\u00a0 Tuesday-Wednesday, February 25-26, Tennessee Room, UTC University Center.<br \/>\n[\/tboot_well]<br \/>\n[\/tboot_column]<br \/>\n[\/tboot_column_wrap]<\/p>\n<p>Basic paperwork must be completed and then a DNA sample is taken with a cheek swab to complete the submission.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudents think that when they are asked to donate stem cells, someone will do surgery on them and that\u2019s not true,\u201d Heather explained.\u00a0 \u201cIf a match is found, the donor gives a sort of advanced blood transfusion.\u00a0 There may be a little nausea and a little pain, but it is very little discomfort compared to what the patient is going through.\u00a0 For the patient, there\u2019s chemotherapy and the emotional pain of dealing with the disease.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Heather said when a match is found and a donor decides to give life-saving stem cells, all expenses are taken care of including lodging and food, if the donor must travel.\u00a0 The donor\u2019s privacy is also protected.\u00a0 It was unusual for the Parman family to request a meeting with the man who donated stem cells to Mr. Parman.\u00a0 In their case, the donor agreed to meet the family and Heather was glad Josh Gilreath did.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_10589\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" ><a
