Dennis donated bone marrow to an anonymous female donor from California on December 11, 2011. This followup video was shot in February 2012, and is intended to capture his honest thoughts about the marrow donation process now that he's completed the procedure. The pre-donation interview (taken the night before he donated) can be found here: www.youtube.com Dennis underwent a marrow donation through the hip, which is a surgical procedure requested in roughly 30% of donations.
