The 41 year-old singer/actor, who is stars in CBS’ “Blue Bloods”, read a link to a post Bobbette’s best friend, Abbie Vicknair, wrote to tell her friend’s story, which was retweeted by some of his fans. Then, Donnie retweeted it himself to his 186k followers back in December of 2010.

“Basically, a few of my Twitter followers retweeted a blog (called ‘Love Can Do Anything’) about a fan named Bobbette who was in desperate need of a kidney transplant,” Wahlberg told the Boston Herald. “So I saw the tweet, read the link and then retweeted and asked for help.”

“It’s a testament to the value of Twitter when used for more than telling people what one is eating for dinner or using it to sell products by tweeting as an #endorser,” he said.

The Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where Bobbette was being treated, received several phone calls from people who wanted to help. They were able to find Bobbette’s SIX viable donors.

Bobbette is scheduled for a kidney transplant in June. Donnie might have saved the girl’s life, but he doesn’t want to take the credit, saying it was all a “team effort”. Just fantastic! Go Donnie!!

Donnie and the rest of the New Kids On The Block join another boyband, the Backstreet Boys, to tour the country. The NKOTBSB just performed their hit “Don’t Turn Out The Lights” (watch video here) and their individual hits, “Step By Step” and “I Want It That Way” (watch video here), on Dancing With The Stars this week.
