Carsen Edwards, Marcus Smart lead the effort to lift a boy’s spirits

Carsen Edwards and Marcus Smart are coming through in the clutch for a young boy who recently lost his mother.

Carson Thomas Lane, of Manchester, N.H., lost his mother, Courtney, last week to Cystic Fibrosis at the age of 25. Lane’s great-grandfather, Tom, tweeted at Edwards on Thursday to tell him about Carson’s situation and hoped Edwards could uplift his spirits.

“He loves getting cards & he needs an uplift,” Lane said in the tweet, which included images of Carson in a Celtics jersey and with his mom.

A plea to Carsen Edwards @Cboogie_3.
