Social Media Storm Helps Grant Dying Boy's Wish

Tanner Bawn is fighting muscular dystrophy.

This week, a group of people organized a Tweet-a-Thon auction, raising more than $25,000, to help him live out his final wishes.

On Wednesday, Tanner and his family flew from Toronto to New York. Upon their arrival, the discovered his custom wheelchair was broken on the flight, leaving him stuck in bed.

When Air Canada told Tanner's family the chair couldn't be fixed until Monday, they took to Twitter, creating a social media storm. The airline then flew into action, eventually returning his wheelchair in working order.

Despite the setback, he says he's still anxious to see the sites.

"I want to see Grand Central Station and the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building," Bawn said.
