New Jersey 19-year-old Marie Sowler was diagnosed with stage 4 leukemia. Her sister and father pitched in with a double bone marrow transplant. Sadly, it didn't work. Marie has been given just days to live.

Her fondest wish is to meet Kellin Quinn, lead singer for indie band Sleeping With Sirens. And thanks to the combined information-spreading powers of Reddit and Twitter, that wish looks like it is about to come true.

Marie's heartbreaking video, above, was posted to YouTube by Friends Are By Your Side, a foundation that provides wigs for chemotherapy patients and helps grant wishes for terminally ill children, early Thursday. Her story was posted to Reddit Thursday afternoon, and got upvoted to the front page of the site within one hour — a rare feat.

Thus began the campaign to connect the Oregon-based Quinn to his biggest fan, spawning the Twitter hashtag #kellinmeetmarie. It reached 800 tweets per minute by Thursday evening, and also received more than a thousand notes on Tumblr.

Soon enough, Quinn was reached and responded:

Next come the logistics of connecting Marie with Quinn as soon as possible. In this, too, the pair will have a lot of help. Sleeping With Sirens is about to go on tour in Europe. Reddit users offered to collect funds to fly Marie to the show; several even offered to drive Quinn from the airport if he were prepared to stop off in New Jersey on the way.
