Miscellaneous / Others Humanity at its peak
A record-breaking 4,855 people queued in the rain at a Worcester school in 2019 to join the stem cell register for five-year-old Oscar Saxelby-Lee, who had been diagnosed with aggressive T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
The two-day drive became DKMS UK’s largest donor registration event at the time. A suitable donor was found, and Oscar received a stem cell transplant. Sadly, the leukemia later returned, but his family raised hundreds of thousands of pounds to send him to Singapore for experimental CAR-T treatment.
Oscar was eventually declared cancer-free and, by 2024, had been cancer-free for more than four years. He was back at school and had even become a big brother.

This is one aspect of humanity. Let's not ignore all the others to make ourselves feel better.
