This guy has been training for years and just quit his senior year so that he could donate his bone marrow to a total stranger. Newfound faith in humanity.

Sounds about right, UNH is full of either bros or fucking morons.

"Yeah I wasted all this time training just to get a really fucking painful surgery..."

Nice job, buddy. No one will remember by this time next year.

Ya, ya, inspiring story and somewhat heroic. But let's face it, this shotputter at UNH likely wouldn't be making a living off shotputting next year anyway. Very good to save a life, but to make this into a huge sacrifice is just silly.

Ashley just pointed this out to me, last two sentences:

Lyle and the man have to remain anonymous to each other for at least a year, but can then sign consent forms to release their identities if they want.

"I really want to meet him," Lyle said, "and I hope he wants to meet me."

anyone see the irony of a massive news article with information on the donor? lol

it's not like he wrote the article. all he's doing is donating marrow and everyone else is blowing it out of proportion. good on him though

if skiierman is dying of leukemia, nobody should give him a transplant because as he put it "nobody will remember you"

That dude has the hottest fucking girlfriend. I had class with her last year and I believe we were both trying to get with her at the same time, she clearly made the right decision.

Those were my thoughts when I was reading the article. I just kinda let it slide and didn't see the point in the law anyways.

I'd rather die than take a transplant from any of you vagrants.
