Who is Lily Pinneo?

Lily Pinneo worked as a nurse with Jeanette Troup on Lassa victims. During an autopsy, Pinneo became aware of the devastation of the disease within the body. Within a week, she too was ill with the disease. Given massive doses of antibiotics and other treatments, Pinneo seemed to be waning but eventually she survived. Within her blood, there were precious antibodies against the disease. When another outbreak occurred, and Pinneo's blood was given to the victims, the antibodies helped to save their lives. Pinneo's blood has been used to save many lives, and she believed it was God's purpose for her to live.
