"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!"https://twitter.com/ShannonBream/status/978015517662466048 The message soon went viral, before it ended up reaching some of the actors themselves. Reynolds, who first joined the Marvel-verse with a cameo in 2009's X-Men Origins: Wolverine before reprising the role in the 2016 Deadpool spin-off, was clearly touched by the story and offered to help. He wrote:
"I’m more of a 'Reserve Avenger'. But happy to help. DM me."https://twitter.com/VancityReynolds/status/978097838872846337 And some of the other members of the Marvel-verse were quick to throw their hats into the ring. Captain America's Chris Evans said he would be "happy to help", while The Avengers' Paul Bettany encouraged Bream to get in touch. https://twitter.com/Paul_Bettany/status/978239504472559616 https://twitter.com/ChrisEvans/status/978094676573151233 Bream later took to the social media platform to thank everyone for the support, saying that "major progress had been made". https://twitter.com/ShannonBream/status/978064541094436864 She wrote:
"Thank you, EVERYONE! Major progress has been made because of you. A special assist coming in from@jaketapper. "I guess Twitter can be full of love when someone really needs it."
