After beating stage-3 cancer, all John Berk wanted to do was go to the Theatre of Dreams - Old Trafford - to witness his favourite club play live.

So, John Berk and his friends decided to raise money for the trip to England. While they did raise enough money for a trip to England, they were still without a way of seeing the Red Devils live at Old Trafford. Then, Berk's friend decided to tweet to Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford regarding the tickets conundrum.
