In 2010, 52-year-old Lisa Korslund was diagnosed with leukemia while she was living in Switzerland. Her doctors told her she needed a bone marrow transplant, and she needed to find a match. A match is based on human leukocite antigens. It's important to have a very similar genetic makeup as your donor and donors are typically siblings or other family members.But none of Korslund's siblings were a match. Minnesota Now producer Ellen Finn spoke to Lisa Korslund, who now lives in Edina, about the stranger halfway across the world who saved her life.

This is such a special episode. Today I am joined by my dad, Chris Gordon, to talk about loss, love, and finding hope when we need it most. Today's episode gives you a look into our family and the events that led us to this point in our life. We talk about living in the now and how even when everything is stripped away, hope remains. We learn through great loss, great love, and great grief that we are never alone. You are never alone.Choose Hope [06:00]“When everything is torn away, it leaves you wasted. It leaves you where you are, you don't know how to react, and you don't know what to do from that point on. It's not something anyone prepares you to deal with.”“I don't know how this is going to turn out, but we can choose hope or we can choose despair. We have a choice.”“We need to look for the light. We need to endure."Now is your Moment [14:20]“Living in the moment is the only defense against the fear of the future. Living in the moment is all there is.”“Now is now. The past is the past. The future hasn't come yet. After this now, is the next now.”The Spiritual Toolbox [19:10]“All you can do to change circumstances, outside of the medical professions, is to ask for your desires. Not only did we pray, but we had church families, students, and friends that did all they could do to help someone in danger- pray.”“This book is a personal journey of spirit after the worst happens- how to live, heal, and the lessons that I didn't expect.”“My job is to discipline my freewill in order to minimize my sense of selfishness and learn to maximize my selflessness.”“Whenever I remember help coming to me, to change my circumstance, it came in a form of another person- a person actually doing something for my benefit that was not required for their betterment.”Your Energy Never Ends [33:49]“If you ask for help, and it shows up, there's a certain way to receive it. It's not just saying thank you, it's receiving it inside. It's going and doing the same for someone else and passing on that feeling.”“We fight with life- it's violent, unfair- but we struggle to stay here. Death, itself, is peaceful.”“Being born is a holy thing. When you exit, it's the same thing. The energy doesn't stop, it just moves on to somewhere else. You just leave the glove the energy is in here.”Love One Another [43:00]“It is wisdom to understand that one must use one's life to make a difference- to do good, to help those in need without hesitation or judgement. To give other people the best you have-all people, not merely some people.”“Live in purpose, with purpose growing your awareness of opportunities to love one another.”“Hope is important. It's an attitude, a decision to hope and act out of hope.”Hope Guides [51:00]“Hope guides your actions.”“As we become more wise on how to take care of ourselves, we inevitably become more wise about how to do that for others. ‘Do unto others as you would do unto yourself.”“What's left when a storm comes through and tears away everything to the foundation? These are the foundational principles that will withstand the test of time.”Act On Your InspirationDonate to the Anne E.

In our two-part bone marrow donation series, Dr. Deb talks to two women who have remarkable stories. Together they partner on Will You Marrow Me?, a bone marrow awareness program that encourages racially and ethnically diverse populations to register as donors. In part two, Dr. Deb interviews Dr. Yung-Mee Park, a strong bone marrow donor advocate, donor, and Kaiser Permanente family care physician.    There's a national shortage of bone marrow donations among minorities and biracial populations, with 70% coming from Caucasian donors. Unfortunately, thousands of patients diagnosed with blood cancer, such as leukemia or lymphoma, don't have a genetic match and desperately wait for a life-saving bone marrow donation.

"It made me feel worthy. It made me feel strong. It made me feel like I am supposed to be here and I can help other people." You may recognize Hayden Ryals from a viral story over the summer. She is the woman who first donated her bone marrow to save a 1-year-old with leukemia - and then, years later, invited her to be the flower girl at her wedding. You likely saw Hayden and little Skye’s story online - or on Good Morning America, People Magazine, CNN or one of the many other news organizations. In part one of this episode series - you heard from Skye Savren-McCormick’s parents about fighting cancer and how Hayden literally saved Skye’s life. Now you’ll hear from Hayden who says Skye saved her life. We talk about how her bone marrow donation led her to find clarity, eased her anxiety and depression and gave her a new world view.  Of course, we also talk about giving bone marrow.  AND as we kick of Childhood Cancer Awareness month, 18-44 year olds can also get in the bone marrow registry. I’m so excited to be working with the Mail Tribune to hold a Bone Marrow Registry Drive. If you are a southern Oregon listener - come out and get your cheek swabbed to be put in the registry.  Tuesday, September 18th 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. Mail Tribune Offices 111 N. Fir St., Medford If you are not a local listener and would like a kit sent to your home - you register here.  

You may have seen Skye Savren-McCormick’s story on People Magazine, The Washington Post, Good Morning America, CBS news and many more. Skye played a big role in a wedding as the flower girl, but only after the bride saved Skye’s life with a bone marrow transplant. Skye has spent the majority of her young life fighting cancer. She has had three bone marrow transplants - two of which came from Hayden Ryals. Hayden asked Skye to be in her wedding as the flower girl. Hayden was very literally Skye's hero, but Hayden says the same about Skye. In this episode you'll hear from Skye's parents. Next week you'll hear from Hayden. In this episode we talk about living in a tiny hospital room, the importance of taking even just five minutes for self care, following mom gut - even when that means you’re standing up to medical experts — and the worst day of their lives - hearing their daughter only had 10% chance of survival. As we kick of Childhood Cancer Awareness month, 18-44 year olds can also get in the bone marrow registry. It is just a cotton swab to the inner cheek.

Congressman Lou Correa (D-Calif.) joined Steele & Ungar Wednesday night to express his frustration and anger over the story of Helen Huynh, a Vietnamese-American citizen who might die because of the failure of and bureaucracy in the U.S. immigration system. One of Huynh's sisters, still living Vietnam, has been denied a visa three times because the U.S. Embassy could not find sufficient evidence that she will return to Vietnam when the visa expires. "Immigration is often presented as black and white, but this is what immigration is all about," said Congressman Correa. Guest co-host Rick Tyler made his feelings known, adding, 'The ambassador needs to know he's basically passing a death sentence on an American citizen." Congressman Correa talked about the story, the abject failure in immigration policy and what people can do if they want to help. Dr. Seva Gunitsky, professor of politics at the University of Toronto, discusses some of the latest news from the Mueller investigation and once again suggests that investigators will find evidence of collusion if they "follow the money".
