In July, 32-year old Daniel Fleetwood was diagnosed with spindle cell sarcoma, a connective tissue cancer, and was given the news that he would only have two months to live. Daniel's dream was to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens before he passed away.
Daniel's friends and family sprung to action to help make his dream come true and along the way Mark Hamill,John Boyega, and Peter Mayhew (all stars of The Force Awakens) joined in on the cause. Disney, the very entity that makes dreams come true, heard about the cause and decided that they needed to make Daniel's dream come true.
We are happy to say that Daniel has officially seen the film.
Daniel’s wife took to Facebook to announce Daniel had in fact had is dream come true:
To all our wonderful supporters, friends, family and awesome strangers: Daniel’s final dream was just granted!!! Today the wonderful Disney and Lucasfilms made his final dream come true, in the amazing typical Disney way, they really do make dreams come true!
Daniel just finished watching an unedited version of Star Wars: The Force Awakens!!! We would like to thank the awesomely talented J.J. Abrams for calling us yesterday to tell us Daniel was getting his wish granted! We also would like to thank Lynne, Ben and Anahuac for coming to our home and screening the movie for Daniel. Lastly I want to thank ALL the amazing people who helped make this happen, thank you beyond words!!! May the force be with you all ?#forcefordaniel !!!!
Daniel has been a Star Wars fan since he was a child and this has definitely been something to raise his spirits.
