and the duo hope to increase the number marrow donors in the National Marrow
Donor Program Registry across the United States.
Nelly’s non-profit, 4 Sho 4 Kids will sponsor
a campaign starting June 21 to emphasize the need for more African-American
donors. 4 Sho 4 Kids will sponsor the cost of testing and will also hand out
educational materials.
The campaign will take place in Nelly’s hometown
of St. Louis as well as Los Angeles and New York.
