Posted by Ayeola | 3/25/2008 01:39:00 AM




Rihanna recently helped Lisa Gershowitz Flynn, a 41 year-old, mother of two, in New York find a donnor for her bone marrow transplant…..

According to People 2000 new donors were added to the bone marrow registry since Rihanna's public plea, and more than 5,000 calls and e-mails poured into DKMS, a Tubingen, Germany-based international donor network that Rihanna has worked with in the past.

Flynn stated she was touched by Rihanna's efforts. She was diagnosed in November 2007 with acute myelogenous leukaemia, a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow. Last month doctors had told Flynn she needed to find a marrow donor within four to six weeks.
