Nearly five thousand people lined up outside a school in the rain over the weekend, hoping to save the life of a 5-year-old boy whose aggressive blood cancer means that a stem cell donation is his only hope.

Potential donors traveled from as far as 70 miles away to see if they might be a rare tissue match for Oscar Saxelby-Lee in response to a desperate plea from his parents last month who have been told he has only 3 months to find a match.
