Hematopoietic stem cells are known as the "seeds of life", hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is the hope of recovery for many patients with blood diseases, and donation is the prerequisite for transplantation. Behind every "rebirth" is the hard work and selfless love of thousands of hematopoietic stem cell donation volunteers, propaganda and mobilization communicators, and "seed of life" escorts.
In this issue, we interview the members of the Zhejiang Provincial Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donation Volunteer Service Team, and approach those respectable and lovely people who build bridges of life and pass on the flame of life.

Speech rehabilitation teacher for hearing-impaired children
Participate in volunteer service after donating
Pan Keqin, the deputy leader of the Zhejiang Provincial Hematopoietic Stem Cell Donation Volunteer Service Team, is a speech rehabilitation teacher at Zhejiang Rehabilitation Medical Center.
Mr. Pan introduced to us that in the 8 or 9 escort missions, he had sent "seeds of life" to patients in Qingdao as far as possible.
At the same time, this is also Mr. Pan's first and most impressive escort mission. The donor is a female volunteer who is also a mother.
Due to the thin blood vessels in the arm of the female donor, the volunteer took the initiative to ask Mr. Pan to collect hematopoietic stem cells from the jugular vein.
Since the collection did not go well, the escort time was extended. In order to be able to send the "Seeds of Life" to the hospital as soon as possible, Mr. Pan asked for help in many ways and opened a green channel, shortening the original one-hour drive to half an hour.
At the same time, Mr. Pan kept in touch with the airline at all times, and the airline also responded positively, helping Mr. Pan coordinate flights, which bought a lot of time for the "Seeds of Life".
Mr. Pan recalled: When he arrived at the patient's hospital, the patient's father was anxiously waiting for the "seed of life", and when Mr. Pan saw such a scene, he thought that everything he had paid was worth it.

Escort "Seeds of Life"
It is inseparable from the support and help of all walks of life
Such a "relay of life" is inseparable from everyone's all-out efforts.
The reason why the "seeds of life" can be delivered to the patient's family in a smooth and timely manner throughout the escort process is inseparable from the prior contact of volunteers and the emergency plan prepared in advance.
Maybe what you see is the "running all the way" of volunteers, but behind it is inseparable from the support and help of all walks of life.
During the escort process, in order not to affect the storage and transportation box, Mr. Pan will carry the storage and transportation box of about 10 catties on his shoulder, and at the same time protect the storage and transportation box with his hands to ensure that it is within a safe range and maintains a stable transportation state.
Not only that, in order to race against time, Mr. Pan has to trot all the way, and every escort task is a big challenge for Mr. Pan.
Every time you escort hematopoietic stem cells, you are escorting a heavy "seed of life", and you have a great responsibility. But for every escort messenger, the mission must be achieved.

Escort "Seeds of Life"
What are the precautions?
Teacher Pan introduced: When volunteers receive escort tasks, they must first judge the means of transportation used for travel.
The speed of the plane is faster, but sometimes the flight time may not be ideal, and it is also greatly affected by weather factors, so two sets of travel plans are generally prepared, with the plane as the first choice and the high-speed rail as the alternative.
If you choose to travel by air, you need to report to the airline in advance and need to get the support of the airline.
After docking and communicating with the airline in the early stage, they will also arrange a green channel for the volunteers to ensure the smooth progress of the escort mission.
X-rays will have a certain impact on the hematopoietic stem cells in the storage and transportation box when passing through the security check. The management center will issue a letter of introduction, so that the box does not need to go through the security check, and only the staff only needs to open the box to check to ensure the activity of the "seed of life".
Volunteers themselves are also required to go through the security check channel normally.
In one of Mr. Pan's Changsha escort missions, in order to deliver the "seeds of life" as soon as possible, he temporarily changed to a non-seat ticket, and stood for a whole afternoon holding the storage and transportation box.
Despite his exhaustion, Mr. Pan only hopes to complete the handover as soon as possible and convey the hope of "life" to the patients.
