Cameron Lyle
Bringing his budding career to a screeching halt, Cameron Lyle was a college athlete who donated bone marrow to a complete stranger. He was a perfect match for a man with leukemia, and without the transplant, the man only had six months to live. Despite knowing that he would miss his final track and field season, Cameron chose to undergo the procedure and donate his bone marrow. He said that he would rather help save someone’s life than seek glory in his sport. The transplant was a success, and the man is now healthy and thriving. Cameron’s selfless act of donating bone marrow to a complete stranger shows how a small sacrifice can make a huge impact on someone else’s life.
