Kim Kardashian honored for effort to match Jewish man with bone marrow donor
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleKim Kardashian is being honored for her efforts to match a Jewish man with blood cancer with an appropriate bone marrow donor.
Kardashian was awarded the Impact Award from the Gift of Life Marrow Registry earlier this week. In 2016 she alerted her followers on social media to help a young Jewish father named Adam Krief, who was diagnosed with an aggressive form of blood cancer and required a life-saving bone marrow transplant.
She was recognized for her support for Gift of Life and the “Hope4Adam” campaign.
A donor was found for Krief in December 2016, but he developed complications and died three months later.
