Sal Parisi was one of the first responders on September 11. Years later, he was diagnosed with two rare forms of leukemia.

As part of his treatment, Parisi had a bone marrow transplant from an anonymous donor. It was a new lease on life, with the help of a complete stranger who is now family.

Parisi is now in remission, and recently met his donor face-to-face for the first time.

See the happy reunion by watching the video.
