Daniel is going to see the movie. I am completely overwhelmed that this worked and I am so thankful to every single person who pushed for this to happen.

"Click2Houston reports that a Texas man dying of cancer hopes to convince Disney and Abrams to give him a chance to see it early, in case he doesn't survive until the film's December release.
'Judging by how progressive the disease has gotten in the past two months,' Daniel Fleetwood told his local TV station. 'I really don't think that I'll be able to make it.'
'It's a commitment and he still has that commitment, that drive, and that love and I think that it's a beautiful thing,' said Fleetwood's wife, Ashley. 'Even if it's just a movie. That's magic for a lot of people.'
Fleetwood acknowledges that it's a long shot and that if he did get a screening, it would likely have to be overseen by Disney...but he's not worried about that. He's hoping that if his plea goes viral, it could help him catch the film. "
As a Star Wars fan who's being waiting forever for this release, I can really understand Daniel's anticipation and want him to have the joy of being a part in this event, even though the circumstances are not the best. This movies mean a lot for him just as they do for all of us, so let's get this done for him!
Mark Hammil retweeted anbout this case already, so let's show them we care!
Please, sing and spread this petition! Let's try to reach Disney, LucasFilm and J. J Abrams in order to help Daniel's wish come true!

I am truly overwhelmed by how quickly this message has traveled beyond our own circles. This momentum belongs entirely to the kindness of people like you who simply refused to let Daniel go unnoticed.

Private showing. Fly him and his wife out to your studios, do it up right (if he can travel). Otherwise, take it to him, bring in a wide screen and let him see the best version he can. Please. I'm sure he would be happy not to tell any spoilers.
I have been a Star Wars fan my whole life and I beg you to let this man see it. I don't know him, but if I would facing so great a challenge in my life not only would my wish be similar, but I think the joy from seeing it would help me in the fight.
I think fandom is a beautiful thing, and this man is prime example of how peice of art can affect someone's life. Even if it means he spoils everything for everyone it's a risk worth taking, and I think its what Yoda would do. #WWYD
Daniel is one of the kindest people that I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. A true Star Wars fan that has spread the passion and joy that he has for the franchise. He personified all that is good about Star Wars and its fans.
My biggest fear was always that I would die before I had kids met my true love, and saw a sequel trilogy, my dreams have come true and my fears have disappeared. Let this man have his last wish, let him experience the magic all us lucky people take for granted!

If there remains any part of the goodness and love that built Disney, then this should not even be a question. J.J. Abrams and George Lucas should give him a personal screening, thank him for his support, and offer him their own.
