Jason Aldean Reaches Out to Boy with Cancer

Seven-year old Tyson Zimmer is dying of brain cancer.
                Country star Jason Aldean, being a father of two girls, knows how much a child means to the world.
                Zimmer, being a huge Aldean fan, told Nebraska news station, KOLN-TV, that he sings Aldean’s song, “Big Green Tractor” because it is his favorite.
                The boy’s family and friends came together joining in a Twitter campaign to get Aldean to send the sick boy a video message.
                Aldean did more than that.
                After sending Zimmer a video message thanking him for being a fan, he told him to get better and invited  him and his family out to meet him at a show, he also sent along autographed posters, albums and four backstage passes for him and his family.
                The family also received a trip to Disney World by the Make-A-Wish-Foundation.
                When they return, the family plans on going out to Illinois to meet and see Aldean in May.
                However, now the family is trying to raise enough money to get there.
                If you would like to help the Zimmer family with their expenses for the trip you can send an email to tysonsfightagainstcancer@gmail.com to purchase a $5 Tyson wristband reading, “Say~Fight~Cure.”
                The idea was produced by the local radio station Froggy 98.
