50 Cent Registers as Bone Marrow Donor for 11 Year Old Broadway Actress - Polidicks

[quote]See, hip-hop mogul 50 Cent is a nice guy after all. Just don't tell his nemeses Rick Ross and Fat Joe. The tough-guy rapper, who just premiered his new film Twelve last week, recently registered as a bone marrow donor in an effort to help a young actress diagnosed with leukemia. When 50 Cent heard that 11-year-old Shannon Tavarez needed a bone marrow transplant, he and G-Unit member Tony Yayo registered with DKMS and were added to the Be The Match Registry. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b5NmA8cc6-w&feature=player_embedded[/media] Before she was diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia, Tavarez had a co-starring role as young Nala in the Broadway production of The Lion King. Tavarez's story made 50 Cent think about his own child. "My son is just a couple years older than Shannon and I can't imagine if his life was needlessly cut short when there is someone out there that could save him," the rap star said in a statement. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hXefpqOTetQ&feature=player_embedded[/media] "Shannon's chances of finding a matching donor are slim because she's African American and Dominican and minorities are underrepresented in the national registry," he added. "Everyone, regardless of their race or ethnicity deserves a fair chance at life. Registering to become a bone marrow donor starts with a cheek swab but it's more than that. It's a commitment to save a life." DKMS is the largest bone-marrow donor center in the world, with more than 2 million registered donors. To sign up as a bone marrow donor visit GetSwabbed.org. Registrants have to be 18 to 55 years old and in good health.[/quote] Give bone marrow All day erry day :3: [url="http://new.music.yahoo.com/blogs/thatsreallyweek/105585/august-2-8-50-cent-registers-as-bone-marrow-donor-to-help-11-year-old-lion-king-star/"][b]Source[/b][/url]

Dawww

I feel like I should probably give blood and bone marrow sometime.

gangsta as fuck yo [editline]03:03PM[/editline] g-UNIIIIT

Wow, that's really nice. I wouldn't expect this from a rapper.

No act of good will by 50 Cent goes unpublicized.

Her bones will now be BULLET PROOF!

+1 respect

He should rap about caring for others rather than bitches and guns :v:

[QUOTE=Akayz;23921846]He should rap about caring for others rather than bitches and guns :v:[/QUOTE] And how we can find him in the Club with a bottle full of bub.

Hah. I don't really LIKE Rap or Hip-hop. But if I have a favorite rapper, It'd have to be 50 cent. :v:

I see 50 cent threw in his two cents on the matter. No but seriously, that's a very nice thing to do.

[QUOTE=Dirf;23921621]Wow, that's really nice. I wouldn't expect this from a rapper.[/QUOTE] dem rappers are so inhumane herp derp

[QUOTE=wonkadonk;23921591]I feel like I should probably give blood and bone marrow sometime.[/QUOTE] Giving blood is easy and painless. Plus, you can get shit for doing it too. The place in my area gives away movie tickets n stuff. There's really no good reason NOT to donate blood unless you're sick or have a pre existing condition.

I'd think knowing your helping people live should be enough.

[QUOTE=badMedia;23923182]Wow they give you stuff for saving lives? I'd think knowing your helping people live should be enough.[/QUOTE] :/ It's not like I do it because I get stuff. I haven't even used anything I've earned, I do it to be a good person. You can also turn your points (you get them based on donation amount and what you donate), right back into cash for the blood service company.

Um....giving bone marrow I hear really hurts. If you're a wimp, I would not advise it. I don't think it's really practical either, as you gotta let the bone heal.

Bone Marrow transplants aren't exactly as cheap as 50 cents

Wow, nice.

[QUOTE=Intel Inside;23924777]Some of you may disagree with me, but I bet if she were white he wouldn't have registered.[/QUOTE] erm that's kind of the point there probably wouldn't be the whole issue of finding a donor if she was white and this adolescent "blah blah poor oppressed white people" thing facepunch has going on is getting old

[QUOTE=Intel Inside;23924777]Some of you may disagree with me, but I bet if she were white he wouldn't have registered.[/QUOTE] this statement is brought to you by no facts whatsoever

[QUOTE=Intel Inside;23924777]Some of you may disagree with me, but I bet if she were white he wouldn't have registered.[/QUOTE] If you read the thread you'd see that's one of the reasons he applied, her ethnicity is very hard to find a donor for (''African American and Dominican'') Also you acusing him of being racist is very racist :colbert:

i bet he's a really interesting person to know [editline]11:31PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Intel Inside;23924777]Some of you may disagree with me, but I bet if she were white he wouldn't have registered.[/QUOTE] you are a terrible person

Blood Donation is relatively painless,[B] Bone Marrow donation hurts like an absolute motherfucker.[/B]

fiddy may have been shot nine times but that is nothing compared to sticking a giant ass needle into your pelvis and extracting bone marrow

[QUOTE=Dirf;23921621]Wow, that's really nice. I wouldn't expect this from a rapper.[/QUOTE] That's 'cause you're a stereotyping douchew- nah, I'm just kidding, I feel the same way. I'd be banned five minutes after posting this for "racism" if a certain someone wasn't powerless now.
