Abbey, short for Abigail, is nine-years-old. “Abby suffers from Leigh’s Disease which is an infantile form of Mitochondrial Disease,” explains a fundraising page. Abbey’s dad is running the Boston Marathon in her honour and the proceeds from the fundraiser will go to a team of researchers looking for a cure for the illness.

The page explains that while Abbey needs a wheelchair to get around and is non-verbal, she has an incredible zest for life as is apparent from this video of her.

The clip was also tweeted by former basketball player Rex Chapman with a caption saying, “This brother helping his sister get buckets is definitely the Twitter content I’m here for.” His tweet has collected over 6.2 million views, some 4 lakh likes and more than 71,000 retweets.

The video has collected a ton of heartening reactions from tweeple.

“This is what we all should be doing always. Thank-you little man for the reminder,” reads a comment. “These kids have such beautiful hearts, they have to have wonderful parents,” says another. “Everyone should be so lucky to have a brother like that,” reads a third.

“It amazes me the capacity for compassion, empathy & solidarity a 5-year-old can possess while adults can’t seem to find a common ground on most subjects; instead we choose to argue, ridicule & insult. We could learn a helluva lot from this 14-second video (myself included),” writes an individual.
