## Resource

Johnny Mac shares five good news stories: Charlie the Cow, raised in a Florida 4-H program, was at risk after a weigh-in found him too skinny, but animal lover Leslie raised funds (including paying out of pocket) to buy and transport him to Bell Family Farm sanctuary in Polk City with help from donor Sarah; researchers at the Mayo Clinic developed an AI model that detects early signs of pancreatic cancer on CT scans up to three years before typical diagnosis and performed three times better than human radiologists; high school girls on a Duke of Edinburgh Award hike in Australia built an improvised stretcher and carried an injured hiker, Thomas, for hours; a family helped their son Axel set a Guinness record by sending a six-inch rainbow Slinky down 53 stairs; and a live frog found in a bag of lettuce was released into a local dam. 00:11 Saving Charlie the Cow 01:33 AI Spots Pancreatic Cancer 02:29 Hikers Rescue Injured Man 03:48 Slinky Staircase Record 04:37 Frog Found in Lettuce 5 Good News Stories is a daily podcast with five positive, uplifting news stories to brighten your day.
