"It's not what you expect in your first year of marriage," says Kevin's bride, Stephanie McDevitt. "When you get a condition like this, you never know what comes next." Both conditions affect the blood. While PNH is characterized by the destruction of red blood cells, severe aplastic anemia is a disease in which bone marrow doesn't produce enough blood cells.

"When you get a condition like this, you never know what comes next," says Kevin.

With help from friends and family, Kevin, a filmmaker and writer, made "Good Blood," a parody of Taylor Swift's popular song "Bad Blood." Kevin's goal these days is to help spread the message that bone marrow donation saves lives. "It's a matter of life or death to get people on the registry," Kevin says.
