Sophie Caldecott's father, Stratford Caldecott, was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2011.
As Strat, a huge comic fan, moves into the final stages of the cancer, his daughter wanted to find a way make his last 12 weeks count.
So Sophie put out the call for the cast of Avengers to assemble — she wanted to surprise her dad with their messages of support and encouragement. And unsurprisingly, this amazing cast responded!
@becmackinnon Hang Tough Strat! We are pulling for you.
Thanks @MarkRuffalo !!!!
Thor and Iron Man got your back, Strat. #CapForStrat
We're all cheering for you, Strat. Sending lots of love. #CapForStrat
@SamuelLJackson: Keep fighting and Stay Strong Strat! You can do it! http://t.co/OI8yRZlE0V #CapForStrat

The agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. even got in on the action.

More #AgentsofSHIELD for #capforstrat. Even if he's Hydra! @imbrettdalton
The response on Twitter has been overwhelming, with other Marvel fans tweeting in their support.
I think my Twitter just broke #CapForStrat
Marvel even got in on #CapForStrat by sending him a copy of "Winter Soldier" because he was too sick to see it in theaters.
Hey @PoppyM_3 @Marvel have been so very kind, dad is going to get to see it soon when he's home from hospital! :) Thanks for your support!
In Sophie's own words, "You are a bunch of real life superheroes, and I hope that the goodwill from this campaign will keep channeling in the right direction."
