A children's cancer charity has gone viral in it's attempt to fulfil a sick woman's dream.

Gillingham based charity, My Shining Star, took to Twitter to help a 20-year-old get her 'dying wish' to find out how Avengers: Infinity War finishes.

Keira Dixon, from Essex, was diagnosed with the disease at the age of 16 and was recently told she had six months to live.

That's when Anita Marinelli, founder of the charity, stepped in and posted on social media to try and grab someone from Disney's attention.

She said: "We're passionate about children being able to get their wishes granted.

"Keira has battled cancer since she was a child, and never got a wish.

"It was a shame to see her never get her dream, so we instantly took on the challenge.

"She deserves to have her dream come true after everything she's been through."
