Rihanna Helps Olympic Hopeful Find Bone Marrow Donor
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010
Rihanna has vowed to help twenty six year old, Nigerian Olympic hopeful Seun Adebiyi. She received a letter from him pleading for assistance in finding a bone marrow donor. He had hoped to compete in the 2014 Winter Games in skeleton sledding, but was diagnosed with Leukemia during training.
Rihanna said: “Leukemia interrupted Seun’s dream of being the first Nigerian in the Winter Olympics, but together we can help him make his dream come true. We need to find him a bone marrow donor! Please sign up with DKMS!”
The pop star is working alongside Grey’s Anatomy actor Justin Chambers in asking potential bone marrow donors to come forward and help save the life of the Yale Law School graduate.
I’m so proud of her!
