Overview

• During a Sept. 10 Power 106 appearance, Ciara recounted that Milton Wright had “twelve hours left to live” when he resisted continuing stem cell treatment.
• She said Russell Wilson persuaded Wright by sharing a personal story about his late father, Harrison Wilson III.
• Wright chose to proceed with the therapy and later went into remission, according to Wilson’s earlier account and Ciara’s retelling.
• Wilson first described the encounter in a 2016 Players’ Tribune op-ed, calling the stem cell therapy a final option after a severe reaction.
• People, Complex, the Times of India, and Vibe reported Ciara’s remarks, renewing attention on the Why Not You Foundation’s outreach to young patients.
