Episode Details

Juan Uribe, a father from Tampa, embarks on a social media campaign to find a stem cell donor for his son, Max, who has a rare blood disorder. Maxs mixed ethnicity, including Colombian roots, complicates the search. The campaign gains traction, with celebrities like Shakira, Joe Jonas, and Meghan Trainor sharing it. The National Marrow Donor Program sends out thousands of swab kits, but more donors are needed, particularly from Afro-Latino communities, before a mid-May deadline.
