I’d be happier if everyone could get scanned! We don’t exclude people without family histories of breast or colon cancer from screening. I’m a never smoker dx’d w stage 4 lung c in 2011. All you need is to have lungs to be at risk! #LCSM

Juan Uribe, father of 15-year-old Max Uribe, has gone viral on TikTok as he searches for a stem cell donor match for his son. Finding a perfect match for Max has proven difficult, Uribe told @emmab929. He is 50% Colombian and 50% European — and donor registries are underrepresented when it comes to people of mixed heritage and minority backgrounds.

$5. That's all I'm asking for today. It might not seem like much, but it’s officially the election year, and your $5 could be the difference between winning and losing this battleground race. Will you chip in to help us fight back and flip this seat?
