BOSTON (CBS) ? A 6-year-old Merrimac girl battling brain cancer got her last wish Monday: a meeting with her ?husband.?
Donate: Cure AT/RT
Last year at a Jimmy Fund event, doctors and nurses set up a wedding for Avalanna Routh to marry the man she loves: Justin Bieber. There were flowers, a guitarist, and even a life-sized Bieber poster at the ceremony.
So, a Facebook page was launched last week to get ?Mrs. Bieber? to finally meet her new husband.
In just a matter of days, Bieber learned of the story and flew Avalanna and her family to New York to arrange their Valentine?s Day date.
WBZ-TV?s Jonathan Elias reports
After the date, Bieber Tweeted about meeting Avalanna.
Avalanna is battling AT/RT, or an atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor, a very rare form of brain cancer. Because less than 30 new cases of AT/RT are diagnosed in the U.S. each year, it is very difficult to acquire grant money for research.

There is currently no known cure for AT/RT.
If you?d like to donate to AT/RT research, visit cureatrt.org.
