Woman Finds Bone Marrow Donor, Thanks to Rhianna

Some time ago, I posted about how Rhianna was helping a New York woman with leukemia find a bone marrow donor to save her life.

People magazine is now reporting that a bone marrow donor has been found for the leukemia patient, Lisa Geroshwitz-Flynn. She is reporting as writing, "The English language does not have words that are adequate to thank someone for working to save your life," in an e-mail she wrote to her supporters.

I think it is so wonderful when people take the time to help someone in need, celebrity or not. I'm thrilled that this woman and mother of two will have the opportunity to continue to live.

Rhianna Looks for Bone Marrow Donor for Patient

I saw this report on Yahoo Music News and I just had to share it! I think it's wonderful when music artists do good things for others.

Rhianna is currently helping a 41-year old cancer patient find a bone marrow donor.

Rhianna, who recently won a Grammy and was named as an honorary cultural ambassador, is working with DKMS, a donor database, located in Germany, find a bone marrow donor for Lisa Gershowitz Flynn. Flynn is extremely ill with acute mylogenous leukemia. She is also a mother.

Rhianna is reported as telling People magazine, "When I heard about Lisa's plight, my heart broke." Rhianna hopes to find a bone marrow donor in time to help Lisa.
