Kim Kardashian is leveraging her massive Twitter following of over 48 million users for a good cause today. The reality star tweeted out a call to action on behalf of a man searching for a bone marrow donor.
Referred to simply as Adam in Kardashian's tweet, the father-of-three is suffering from a blood cancer called primary myelofibrosis. A friend of Kardashian has a son who's in school with one of Adam's sons, which is how she heard his story.
