Matt Kotts donated stem cells after Be The Match identified him as a fast tracked match for Trevor's recipient. The family, BloodSource and Be The Match organized drives to grow the registry, noting the process uses blood stem cells rather than surgery. Matt traveled to Stanford for a five hour procedure, then waited a year for potential contact with the recipient, an adult American male.
