While on the psychological rollercoaster that is living with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Shira Klein has been instrumental in helping to match up 23 bone marrow and stem cell donors and recipients. Sponsored by Grape-Nuts.

So contagious, in fact, that people across the entire country are working endlessly to make sure she can continue sharing her bright smile. Shira Klein, …
