This is really heart warming. Justin Timberlake gave one of his biggest fans, 12 year old Robbie Twible, a night he won’t soon forget at his NYC show on Thursday (June 10th). Robbie suffers from a rare and painful skin disease and his strength made a fan out of JT. Read the whole story after the jump!
Robbie is diagnosed with epidermoylsis bullosa, a debilitating skin condition which results in blisters all over his body that has no known cure and requires daily treatment. The little soldier wasn’t even supposed to survive past his birth but he continues to beat the odds every day.
Inspired by his battle, JT surprised Robbie with a limo ride to bring him, his sister and his parents to see his favorite singer perform. The family got front row seats to Justin’s show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC. Robbie was also gifted with bags filled with free JT swag.
Justin even dedicated his last song of the night, “Mirrors” to Robbie. “It was amazing,” the sixth grader explained at the end of the show.
His parents couldn’t be anymore grateful for Justin’s generosity. “It reminds you of all the good in the world. A guy like Justin Timberlake doesn’t owe my son anything,” Robbie’s mother said.
The entire night was a complete surprise to Robbie, who was completely clueless of the night ahead of him until the limo was in his drive way.
