A Story of Life: We Are All Alive—Our Second Birthday.pdf

The protagonist is told, "The only way to survive is with a bone marrow transplant." His life is saved by a donor whose face and name he does not know. It is a life that cannot be saved by the skills of excellent doctors alone. What exists there is the will to live and the goodwill of people who respond to it. This film is a story of life, planned, originally conceived, and starred in by Daigo Higuchi, who himself overcame leukemia.

On the day of the event, Mr. Higuchi and students who have been raising awareness for the bone marrow bank at Keio University will hold a talk session. If you had a ticket that could save someone's life, would you use it? How would your family react?
