This 92-page Spring 2026 Issue of Bonus Days celebrates the ways hope, generosity, and human connection ripple through our lives in unexpected and beautiful ways. Our cover story features NBA champion Scot Pollard and his wife Dawn, who share the deeply personal story of Scot’s heart transplant and the love, humor, and resilience that carried them through the unknown together.
Inside, you’ll find powerful stories like “Saved by a Flight,” which recounts the remarkable rescue mission that connected Sgt. Andrew Stephanic and flight nurse Vincent Froncek, and “Do Good,” highlighting Dana Hellgren and the culture of generosity at Epic that continues to inspire acts of organ donation. This issue also shares moving reflections and personal journeys from voices across the transplant and chronic illness community including Emily Barkocy, Phillip Anthony Gornail, Jamie Lane, Fiauna Lund, and transplant teen advocate Jaxon Shaneyfelt.
As always, you’ll discover familiar favorites throughout the pages: Notes from Dr. Alin with Dr. Alin Gragossian, Ask a Pharmacist with Elizabeth Cohen and Kristen Belfield, thoughtful recipes from Chef Antonio Santiago, a playlist curated by Elias Makhoul, and creative features like Comic Corner with Gianna Paniagua and Art & Media by Natasha Latona. You’ll also find heartfelt contributions in Voices from Alec Bradbury, Tom Graham, Monica Douglas Davis, Jeff Parnell, and Jean Sime, along with uplifting moments shared in Readers’ Favorite Bonus Days.
Bonus Days continues to be a self-funded project, lovingly created one issue at a time and is not a subscription. Every purchase helps us keep sharing these stories across hospitals, homes, and hearts nationwide. Thank you for helping make that possible.
