Seth Lane may have spent most of his life living in a "bubble," but he wants to be more than just a "bubble boy."

The five-year-old, born with no immune system, has been in Great North Children's hospital in Newcastle, England, for the past few months awaiting a second bone marrow transplant. While he waits, he is hoping the public to care about the rare disease by asking the Internet to wear yellow -- his favorite color.

Last week, Seth's family put a video on YouTube of their son holding up yellow signs to explain his situation. "I'm in the hospital. I was born with no immune system," a sign read. "I need a second bone marrow transplant." Shortly after, he asked followers to “Wear Yellow For Seth” on March 27. The video was viewed more than 155,000 times and received more than 100 comments.

"You're in my heart, Seth!" one user commented on the video. "I'm wearing something yellow all of March in your honor, buddy!" "He's so lovely and strong, I have it marked to wear yellow on the 27th," another user agreed.

Luckily, Seth has found a donor -- his dad, Nik. But he still has a long road ahead of him.
