Rihanna has helped save the life of a leukaemia patient.

The 'Umbrella' singer was so moved by mother-of-two Lisa Gershowitz Flynn's
story she joined forces with DKMS, the world's leading bone marrow donor
centre, to find her a match.
The 41-year-old New York lawyer was diagnosed with acute myelogenous
leukaemia, a fast-growing cancer of the blood and bone marrow last November,
and was given just four to six weeks to find a donor.
Following Rihanna's public plea for help, 5,000 potential donors contacted
DKMS and a match has now been found.
