Scientific Research & Self-Development Activism

It's been a while since I've posted here, but would like to know if any of you are willing to help me out without much effort in a practice of plausible slacktivism if you would.
An old friend of mine has a 9 year old daughter who has AADC, a rare disorder that only about 30 people in the world have in total. One night while she was on her respirator and her parents weren’t certain she’d make the night, she stayed conscious and kept with the family while focusing on one of her favorite films, “Never say Never.” The power of music and entertainment is shown here as her favorite artist kept her with her family.
Music literally saved her life.
Her musical hero, Justin Bieber, is passing through North Carolina on the 19th for a concert tour and Marlie will be wheeled out to watch it. However, what would really make this child’s life is to get a meet and greet with him. Maybe you can help!
Please follow the Facebook and Twitter pages or read her story and help spread and trend the hashtags #GetMarlieToTheBiebs and #PrayForMarlie so maybe her cause can catch Justin’s attention. If you’re a fan or follower, message to his Twitter feed, spread it on Twitter, Reddit, Tumblr, Facebook, I don’t know - maybe everything except /b/, and see if we can make this happen.
I did an impromptu promotional show for her last night, and I’m hoping to keep gathering attention from it. Here are the videos from my set last night. Please help! It would mean a lot to me, my friend, and his daughter. Thank you!

Comment by The Shiznit on January 17, 2013 at 11:08pm Story is legit, y'all; and SkyAxle does indeed live in the same city as Marlie.
I know a lot of you hate Justin Bieber; but I also think that we all know that many little girls out there have quite a different view of him. hehehe
Link to another local News story about this cause:

Comment by Sky Axle on January 18, 2013 at 6:39pm Thank you very much! I appreciate it. It hits close to home.
Comment by Bart on January 19, 2013 at 1:15am It has been shared and liked. Good luck:)
Comment by Sky Axle on January 21, 2013 at 6:16pm Thank you everyone. We managed to trend it and Bieber followed through. Sadly Marlie was exhausted by the end and didn't get to appreciate his hello, but she knows it happened and that means a lot.
