Action star Jackie Chan is using Facebook to appeal to fans to help save a little girl with leukemia.

“I recently found out about an 8 year-old girl who has leukemia and needs a bone marrow transplant,” he wrote on his official Facebook page. “I recorded a public service announcement to appeal for your help and now I am asking all my Facebook fans to do what they can. Please help!”

8-year-old Natalie was diagnosed with AML (Acute Myeloid Leukemia) in the Fall of 2008. After five rounds of chemotherapy she went into remission and re-enrolled in school this past Fall. But her leukemia returned in January 2010 and now her only chance for survival is to find a lifesaving bone marrow donor as soon as possible.

To find out more about how you can join Jackie and DKMS in helping her, visit herofficial website or the DKMS website.
