Garnes found out he was a bone marrow match after the team's annual registration drive last April.

Now, he does not know who the recipient is - only that she's a woman in her 20s.
The procedure happened yesterday in Boston and Garnes told us he feels good, just a little sore.
He's making his way back to Pittsburgh and he can say he helped save a life.
