Just last week, a Reddit member with the username alexander_q shared his story on the site’s Marvel Studios community in hopes of getting a chance to watch Avengers: Endgame before it arrives in theaters. In the post, titled “Dying Before April: My Endgame,” Alexander reveals that he’s suffering from liver cancer, mouth cancer and bone marrow failure, and that he doesn’t believe he’ll make it to April. As revealed by the fan this morning, Disney has since reached out to him to discuss options.
In a tweet, Alexander thanked the fans who made this possible before asking them to consider donating towards Fanconi anemia research. Tax deductible donations to the Fanconi Anemia Research Fund can be made by clicking here.
