アメリカでクリスマス・イブの前の晩に、1人の病気の子供を励まそうと、多くの人々が車で病院に集まった。

小児がんとの闘う少年のために

その少年とは、4歳になるGeorgie君だ。彼は「神経芽細胞腫（小児がんの一種）」のステージ4と診断され、2019年の10月以来、病気と闘ってきたという。

Georgie君はバージニア州西部の街、Hedgesvilleにある病院「James Rumsey Technical Institute」に入院していたのだが、クリスマス休日には、一旦自宅へ戻れることに。

そこで彼の家族は、Georgie君が車の「Jeep」を好きなことから、一時退院する前に、その車の所有者たちに呼びかけたそうだ。

するとクリスマス・イブの前の晩、飾りつけをした多くの車が病院の前に集結、Georgie君を励ました。
