(Here’s a news report.)
2. A TV reporter from New York living with two chronic autoimmune liver diseases is set to receive a liver donation from an unexpected source . . . one of her longtime viewers.

3. A group of Australian high school students put their training into action when they rescued an injured man during a remote hike. The students found a man with a broken leg and used a makeshift stretcher to get him out.
