Canadian Man Meets His "Hero" Who Saved His Life With Stem Cells!

I can never get too many of these stories. Every time I read them, the
tears want to start flowing. Cancer patient (chronic myelogenous
leukemia) Chris LoDuca, was dying and in desperate need of a stem cell
transplant. He had been waiting for a possible donor for more than 1
year. Lots of cancer victims pass away waiting for a matching donor,
but Chris was lucky. Around the world, there was a matching donor in
Germany - Manuel Raisch.  Manuel generously donated his stem cells to
a man he had never met.  These repair stem cells would save Chris'
life. And now, more than 3 years later, they met for the very first time. Chris and his wife were  overwhelmed by the moment:

With the co-operation of LoDuca's wife Pam, it(the first meeting of Chris and Manuel) was kept a surprise until the annual Camp 4 Compassion on a farm near Leamington that promotes awareness of the worldwide blood and bone marrow donation registry.
LoDuca was told he had to be there for a belated 40th birthday party.
Instead, he came face-to-face with Manuel Raisch, a tall, bearded 27-year-old theology student from Wiesenbach who spoke little English.
"I was in complete shock," said LoDuca. "I was overwhelmed."
"Sitting next to me is a real hero," he said.
How many ways can you say thank-you? LoDuca can tell you all about that now.
The tears quietly streaming down his wife's face perhaps said it best.
