Description

Every hour in Poland, someone hears the words: you have blood cancer. And every hour, someone else could give that person a second chance.In this episode of Let’s Talk About Wellbeing, we talk about bone marrow donation — without myths, without drama, but with real emotions.Our guests share their first-hand experiences: Maria Dziedzic, who became a stem cell donor, and Michał Wasielewski from the DKMS Foundation, who debunks common myths and explains how little it actually takes to save someone’s life.📌 Topics covered:how the DKMS registration process really looks step by step,emotions and fears connected to becoming a donor,the truth about the stem cell collection procedure,the most common myths about bone marrow donation,the role of education and support provided by the DKMS Foundation,how companies and communities can help spread the idea of donation.🗣️ Guests: Maria Dziedzic – Brand Communication Senior Specialist at Capgemini Poland.Michał Wasielewski – PR Specialist at the DKMS Foundation, an organization whose mission is to find a donor for every patient in need of a stem cell or bone marrow transplant.In Poland, for more than 800 people each year, a transplant from an unrelated donor is their only chance to recover and survive. Since 2008, thanks to DKMS, over 2.2 million Poles have joined the registry of potential donors, and 15,500 people have already donated a part of themselves to help others. But the work is far from over — one in five patients in Poland still has not found their genetic twin. Could it be you?🎙️ Host: Katarzyna Smuda, Wellbeing Lead at Capgemini PolandFundraiser for Jagoda: fundacjarakiety.pl/podopieczni/jagoda-firla🎧 Let’s Talk About Wellbeing is a podcast by Capgemini Poland Produced by: Rafał Chojnowski – AyeAyeMedia.plLearn more about us at capgemini.com/pl-pl/kariera/dlaczego-capgeminiIf you have any wellbeing-related questions, reach out to us at [email protected]
