The people of Liverpool, UK, are demonstrating the power of generosity and empathy in action, with thousands signing up as stem cell donors in a bid to save a baby named Francis. Stricken with acute myeloid leukemia at just three months old, the infant's fight has inspired not only his native town, with more than a thousand donors from the Liverpool area, but also fans of Liverpool Football Club who were shown the appeal. The desperate pleas from his mother, Anna ("You never think something like this will happen to you...") echoed the urgency of their situation. With a staggering 500% increase in donor sign ups in just a week, it's a testament to the massive impact collective action can have.
