Donnie Wahlberg's Twitter skills have helped find a kidney for an ailing fan from Nashville, Tenn.
One of the New Kids on the Block singer's 183,000 followers on Twitter tweeted a link to a blog about a fan who desperately needed a kidney transplant. Donnie retweeted the plea in December and asked his fans to help Bobbette Miller.
The Boston Herald reports the request prompted a slew of calls to the Vanderbilt University Medical Center, and one of the callers was a match. Bobbette now is scheduled for a June transplant.
Donnie calls the success a team effort, saying it proves how valuable Twitter can be.
