Meek Mill Donates $20,000 To Injured Dirt Bike Rider

Rapper Meek Mill has donated $20,000 (£12,500) to an amateur dirt bike rider after he was badly injured in a recent crash.

Brad Face has been confined to a wheelchair after suffering a major spinal cord injury during a stunt gone wrong in March (12).

The thrill-seeker is hoping to undergo stem cell surgery in order to regain feeling in his feet, and now the rapper has helped to fund the costly $40,000 (£25,000) procedure by cutting him a huge cheque, reports GlobalGrind.com.

In a video blog, Meek Mill, real name Robert Williams, says, "(I'm going to) donate $20,000 to him to help him get his stem cell surgery for his feet, we're gonna try to raise the other $20,000. Get it done."

The hip-hop star, who is signed to Rick Ross' label Maybach Music Group, insists he is happy to lend a hand, and he hopes other celebrities will donate too.

He adds, "I was surprised nobody else ain't (sic) helping with it."
