Inspiring Story Of Superhero Stars -- A Plea For Help
It all started when Fox News at Night host Shannon Bream met a man on a plane. As the two chatted, the man told Shannon about his 11-year-old nephew, Emilio. At such a young age, poor Emilio's was in the final days of his life thanks to the awful c-word -- cancer. The heartbreaking tale really touched Shannon. So, when the man reached out to her later with a simple request, she was more than happy to try and help.

Before little Emilio leaves this world, his uncle explained it would be a dream come true to receive a video from one of the Avenger superheroes. So, Shannon took to Twitter, pleading with anyone to help.“Need your help Twitterverse," Shannon tweeted, "Trying to help a young boy who is dying. He probably has just days and all he want[s] 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!”
And in just a matter of a few hours, Shannon received replies from multiple celebrities!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!

When Captain America star Chris Evans saw Shannon's tweet, he quickly responded that he was in.Of course, it's not too surprising considering he's a regular visitor to Boston Children's Hospital. And the kind celeb has made headlines before when he teamed up with Star-Lord Chris Pratt (Guardians of the Galaxy) to surprise patients at two children's hospitals.
