Grandma Chance

A mix of grandmother and energetic teen; that's how Zdenka Wasserbauer (82) is described by those around her. To understand her, we need to go back to when both her grandson and film director Pavel Jakeš suffered from childhood leukemia. Pavel was cured, but his friend Honza was not so lucky; a suitable bone marrow donor couldn't be found. “Grandmother Chance” has been spreading awareness and expanding the registry of bone marrow donors for more than 25 years.
