Juanita McReynolds received her life-saving bone marrow transplant back in 1996 after being diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia (AML). In our first episode of Season 5, McReynolds talks about perspective and purpose. Post-transplant, Juanita was able to care for her then-disabled husband, an ailing mother-in-law, and a sibling. Speaking of siblings, learn more about Juanita's incredible journey with her brother who was her donor. She claims her transplant also fixed her heart--you won't want to miss this one. 

Juanita also speaks to self care-- a critical part of recovery. She takes care of her body with exercise, and she takes care of her mind by singing, and volunteering with her church as well as our family here at the LINK.
