Former soccer star David Beckham has sent a touching video message to a 19-year-old Cystic Fibrosis sufferer, who has just two years to live.
Chloe Hopkins wrote on her bucket list that she would love to meet the former Manchester United star and the team's current players after she was given just two years to live, reported Femalefirst.
"I heard from my friend Chris that you're not very well so I just want to send all of my best wishes and all of my love," Beckham said.
"I hope you get out of hospital soon and I hope you feel better soon. Lots of love. Bye bye."
Chloe - who has been on the waiting list for a double lung transplant since 2015 - says her "life would feel complete" if she got to meet all of the Manchester United squad.
