A young boy recovering from open heart surgery received some sweet encouragement from a few superheroes.
The young fan named Seb is a huge Marvel fan and his dad Ivan sent out a request on Twitter to have one of the Marvel Superheroes send his son a message as he recovers from surgery.
“So here’s a challenge Twitter-Sphere… How do we get a @MarvelStudios Superhero to send a message to our Heart Hero Seb?” he tweeted. “Recovering from open heart surgery and just so damn brave! Long shot I acknowledge, but I think he deserves it! Who’s up for the challenge? #HeartHeroSeb.”
