to go to the beach. Nothing seems so special about this to any of us. However, to a young boy who has been restricted to a wheelchair or a walker for his whole life, being able to go on sand was something that seemed unattainable. With a specialized wheelchair provided by the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Logan could splash in the water and play in the sand. His mother claimed, "It allowed Logan to do what other kids can do."
Another collection of wishes is "I wish to be...". Children can dig through their imagination and choose to be a police officer, princess, or a secret agent like Colby. This twelve-year-old with cystic fibrosis idolized the concealed men and women who were heroes to us all. Hundreds of Seattle residents gathered to put on a production for this one child. Tracking down the evildoer Rex Velvet, Agent Colby had to track him down and stop him before he could do any damage. His journey included visiting Brooks Brothers for a new suit, and riding in a helicopter. After a Silly String fight, Agent Colby ended up on top. Sadly, soon after Rex Velvet escaped. Colby no longer sees himself as a kid with a medical condition, now he is Agent C, a hero to Seattle.
"I Wish to be..." A patient who wished to be superman.
Next comes "I wish to meet." Many kids use this wish to meet their favorite celebrity, sports player, or public figure. Five-year-old Monroe wanted nothing more than to meet Justin Bieber. Cancer had her in and out of chemotherapy, Never Say Never helped her to beat her sickness. Monroe and her family make it in a limousine to Justin's private trailer. This young girl was nervous at first, but her nervousness eased as soon as Justin welcomed her in a warm embrace. The two talked about music and their favorite things. A little while later, Justin presented many gifts including autographed hats, apparel, and even a brand new Gibson guitar. Monroe and her family sat in upgraded seats to view Justin's performance. Monroe stated, "This is the bestest day in my whole life, ever," all thanks to the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
