New Kids on the Block saved my life

Can boy bands fans save the world? Maybe. They can certainly save each other. In this episode, we meet Theresa Crockett, of California, who needed a kidney and found hope – and a lifeline – through her love of New Kids on the Block. This is a feel-good story about love between strangers (both of whom are “Blockheads”). It’s also about supportive spouses, family members, and a guy named Donnie Wahlberg. https://www.uclahealth.org/programs/core-kidney Our “Friends with Benefits” members get an extended cut of this episode – and one extra episode a month!
