'Superheroes' rally behind terminally ill fan

New Delhi [India], Mar. 27 (ANI): Some of the biggest superheroes of the Marvel cinematic Universe have answered a call of a terminally ill fan.

American journalist, Shannon Bream, took to Twitter and relayed a message from a dying boy. His last wish was to receive a greeting from of the Avengers.

The 47-year-old posted, "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!"
