Actors Ryan Reynolds and Chris Evans, who essay Deadpool and Captain America in the Marvels superhero Avengers universe, volunteered to meet with a dying child on a request that came via Twitter.
Fox News personality Shannon Bream sent a request out via social media in the hope of connecting the dying child with one of the actors who make up Marvel's Avengers.
Need your help Twitterverse - trying to help a young boy who is dying. He probably has just days and all he want is a greeting from one of the Avengers. If you have a celeb connection, please let me know. Otherwise, could you help out with a RT? Thank you in advance!

Bream was happy to receive help.
This is the kind of thing that restores faith in humanity - three Avengers' messages have made it to Emilio, two more are on the way. Again - huge thank you to @jaketapper for helping to get this thing off the ground - and to everyone who RT'd and shared contacts. God bless! https://t.co/lEM94eyEWE
