Many people shy away from donating blood because they are too scared or too worried, which makes the actions of a Westbury woman who donated bone marrow, even more impressive.

Sarah Tucker was willing to go through a procedure she had been warned might be painful for the sake of a child she doesn't even know.

Her selfless act could save that child's life and prevent her family going through what every parent knows is the worst possible experience.

Mrs Tucker has touched the lives of many people through this act and she is an example to us all.
