In the summer of 2021, SPC Christian Sutton reluctantly attended a punk rock concert and was intrigued by a bone marrow registration table there. Inspired, he created Operation Ring the Bell, a series of donor drive events that has taken place at multiple Army bases and led to thousands of new possible bone marrow donors—and saved lives. Hosts LTG (Ret.) Leslie Smith and LaSherryn Duncan sit down with SPC Sutton to discuss how his life has been driven by volunteering, how a few Afghan refugees have inspired him, and how his vision turned the Army into a worldwide leader in bone marrow donations.
Guest:
SPC Christian Sutton, Founder and Lead Coordinator, Operation Ring the Bell
