Basketball Player Laura Dinkins was recently featured in the San Bernardino Sun on December 19, 2000. However, instead of recounting her skills as a basketball player, readers learned how Dinkins gave the gift of life to her sister.
In July, Dinkins donated stem cells in her blood for her sister who suffers from sickle cell anemia. The procedure took five hours, but it will take a year before sister Deanna's recovery is complete.
