Good on him! Cancer can be so hard to go through, especially because of a percieved lack of support even within your family, so it's great that even though Nelly is busy with touring and recording, that he still finds a way to let his sister know that he's there for her.

Dear, Nelly 9 months ago on the Osbuorns show on fox 40, you and your sister with cancer and lucemia appeared on the show. You guys were in search of a donor. Well fortunately I THINK THAT I MIGHT BE A MATCH FOR YOUR SISTER BECAUSE IN MY HEART I BELIEVE THAT IT'S MEANT FOR ME TO SAVE YOUR SISTERS LIFE. I MAY OR MIGHT BE A GOOD BONEMERO DONOR. SORRY FOR THE SPELLING IT'S JUST THAT I
HAVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION ON HOW I CAN GET TESTED TO SEE IF I MIGHT BE A MATCH.
I would love for a reply

Sheryl, I don't think Nelly will actually be reading this. If you're serious, you shoudl get tested FIRST then try and then through your doctor get placed on the doners list.

I assume she's not dead, because he's still campaigning for her marrow-doner:
quote:
NELLY HITS BACK AT PROTESTING STUDENTS
Rapper Nelly has blasted authorities at Spelman College in Atlanta, Ga., after they scrapped a vital bone marrow drive he was scheduled to hold there.
The hitmaker was due to appear at the charity function back in April and was upset when officials at the African American all-girls college protested his racy images of women in his videos and decided to cancel the event.
Nelly, whose sister is in need of a bone marrow donor, was appalled that his rap star image was a consideration for a fundraiser he felt was very important.
Speaking to urban magazine Sister 2 Sister, he fumes, "I'm trying to do something that will impact on my life for the rest of my life, and you're doing something that you might not even be thinking about years from now.
"Some girl down there (at Spelman) ... she's just so, 'Well, we wanted to hold Nelly accountable for what he's doing,' and all this. Hold me accountable? Sweetheart, you knew we was coming to Spelman three months prior, four months prior."
The rapper has asked magazine editor Jamie Foster Brown to track down the student union official who sparked the protest and interview her about her reasons for her actions.
Nelly's sister, Jackie, losses her battle with cancer on March 24, 2005. R.I.P. Jackie.
I can definitely relate. I go to several of my own family members funerals every year. I just lost a cousin a couple of weeks ago. My grandmother passed away two days ago on Easter day. Plus, my father suffered two massive strokes back on January 4th that caused him to be in a vegetative state every since. I can definitely relate to tragedy.
Be strong Nelly, I've got you and everyone else in my prayers.
