Join Zoe, spark a life-changing movement
Zoe may be young, but she’s driven to be part of something bigger. Through her role as a nursing student, she didn’t just support patients in times of need but also realized how life-changing stem cell donation could be for them. This led her to join the Stem Cell Club at UNBC — a decision that further strengthened her connection to her community.
Zoe is passionate about demystifying the Stem Cell Registry process to her peers, who often have misconceptions about it. When it consists of simply registering online, receiving a cheek swab kit, and seeing if you get a call that you’re someone’s stem cell match.
And to those considering registering, Zoe says: “It’s an honour in its purest form — knowing that you could be the one person who gives someone another chance at life.”
If you’re 17 to 35, you could join Zoe in changing lives and possibly be there for one of the 1,000 people in Canada waiting for a stem cell match.
