Five-year-old Gunner Lewis-Vale, diagnosed with a rare genetic disorder, received a life-transforming stem cell transplant from umbilical cord blood donated in 2008. After isolating for six months post-surgery, Gunner, with mucopolysaccharidosis type I hurler syndrome, now enjoys outings with his sister. His family encourages stem cell donation registration. Similarly, in Ontario, three-year-old Tristan's life was saved by cord blood donations, highlighting the significance of diverse donors.
