4 Year Old Terminal Cancer Patient Gets A Special Surprise

The town of West Jordan, Utah, came together last week to help out the Van Leuvan family - their oldest son, Ethan, is suffering from lymphoblastic leukemia. Doctors told Ethan's parents he is running out of time.

To ensure that Ethan's remaining days were special, the entire town came out in force to celebrate the holidays a bit early. Trick or treating for Halloween (Ethan dressed up as Superman), a parade for his 5th birthday (which would be in November), and caroling for his favorite holiday, Christmas.

It's always heartwarming to see communities bond in special ways like this. Check out the video from the Today Show below - make sure you have a tissue handy.
