When Sam Kimura was diagnosed with rare and deadly bone marrow failure disease called Severe Aplastic Anemia, she was told she would need a bone marrow transplant to cure her. Unfortunately, like thousands of other patients fighting blood cancer and diseases like leukemia and lymphoma, Sam doesn't have a match on the donor registry. 

​

With the hopes of finding heroes for everyone in need, and to give Sam a bucket list adventure with whatever time she has left, Sam, her big sister Alex, and her best friend Taylor started the Sharing America's Marrow (SAM) campaign.

 

In 2015, the three young women set out on a year long road trip around the United States, hosting donor registration and educational events in all 50 states to try to dispel the negative misconceptions about bone marrow donation and save lives.

​

"In Our Bones" gives an intimate look inside the ups and downs of this once in a lifetime adventure, filmed by the girls themselves as they drive around the country, struggling to find what they are looking for.

​

In addition to raising awareness about this important cause, this feature length film serves as a visual memoir of Sam's personal journey, with a story that proves there is much more than marrow In Our Bones.
