A 7-year-old Lincoln boy is dying of brain cancer. He has one last wish before he dies.

And his wish just came true. The Make-a-Wish foundation sent Tyson Zimmer and his family to Disney World and a package full of autographed memorabilia was sent to Tyson from his favorite country star, Jason Aldean.

In addition to the autographs, Tyson also got four tickets to see Jason in Concert and backstage passes. The family saw Jason Aldean in concert in Atlanta, Georgia last week after they returned from Disney World, but they need help paying for the air fare.

To Get A Bracelet

You can buy a "Say~Fight~Cure" Bracelet for Tyson at any of these locations in Lincoln for $5. Bracelets will help Tyson and his family with their expenses. Then take a picture of you and your bracelet and email the photo to desk@1011now.com.
