"In the heart-warming department, Tony Stark\u2019s chest-piece has nothing on #CapForStrat.\nAn alien-invasion-level assemblage of Marvel\u2019s Avengers and other characters have now weighed in on the campaign to get a copy of Captain America: The Winter Soldier to Stratford Caldecott, the terminal cancer patient and huge comic-book fan who is too sick to visit a movie theater but not expected to live long enough for the Blu-ray release.\nSEE ALSO: 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier': 9 Key Details You May Have Missed\nSophie Lippiatt (a freelance journalist whose \u201Cpen name\u201D is Sophie Caldecott) started the #CapForStrat initiative, posting about it on her blog early this week. Their mission: to convince Disney/Marvel to send a copy to their home in the U.K., where her father has been given less than three months in his battle with prostate cancer.\nShe went straight to the actors, and wow did they respond.\nAs Sophie later wrote:\nWhen we started out on Monday evening, all we wanted to do was to make it possible for my father to see 'The Winter Soldier' and maybe to get a few superhero selfies to make him chuckle. In under 48 hours our mission was accomplished, and then \u2026 we kind of went viral.\nIt's not hard to see why. Credit for getting it stirred up goes to Mark Ruffalo, who was first to post:\n\n@becmackinnon Hang Tough Strat!
