JJ Abrams gives dying Trekker a screening of the upcoming Trek movie
Great job by Mr. Abrams:
Dying Trekkie Gets Private 'Into Darkness' Screening
A terminally ill Star Trek fan had his wish to see Star Trek Into Darkness come true, thanks to director J.J. Abrams himself -- and Reddit.
On Christmas Day, redditor ideeeyut posted a thread to the r/startrek subreddit entitled "Please come to the rescue of a Star Trek fan." On Dec. 26, the same story was posted to the r/scifi subreddit.
In the post, ideeeyut described a bout of medical issues that unexpectedly plagued his friend "Dan," who is not only a Star Trek fan but also a general movie buff.
After being diagnosed with leukemia at the age of 38, Dan not only endured chemotherapy and radiation treatments, but also developed a second strain of cancer as well as an "EXTREMELY rare vascular tumor that is crowding out his healthy liver tissue."
