Hip-hop star Nelly is pressing on with his fight against leukaemia by auctioning off two Pimp Juice promotional vehicles off for the cause.

The rapper, who named his lauded energy drink after his hit track PIMP JUICE, has teamed with REUTHER CHRYSLER Jeep in St Louis, Missouri, to put the vehicles up for sale on auction website eBAY, reports ALLHIPHOP.COM.

The two vehicles are being auctioned off to raise money for the JES US 4 JACKIE organisation, which Nelly - real name CORNELL HAYNES - founded with his late sister, JACKIE DONAHUE.

As well as receiving a vehicle, the winning bidder will also pick up 20 cases of Pimp Juice, an authenticity plaque and an autographed picture of Nelly with the vehicle.

Donahue, who passed away on 24 March (05) from leukaemia, founded Jes Us 4 Jackie with Nelly to encourage African-Americans to participate in donor registration programs.
