A 14-year-old boy that fought blood cancer recently had the chance to meet the man that saved his life two years ago.

Inside Edition has reported that Jack Eppley was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 11 and spent a lot of time in and out of hospitals trying to fight the disease.

When it got to the point that he needed a stem cell transplant, his family checked the Be The Match Registry to find a suitable donor.

Of the 25 million people registered on the site, only two were matches with Jack…..

Thankfully, one of those matches was willing to help save Jack, and the successful transplant took place back in 2016.
