Make-A-Wish
One of the highlights of this whole journey was finding out that Bradley qualified for the Make-a-wish program!! What an amazing gift!!
For those of you who haven't heard of the Make-a-wish Foundation, it is a non-profit organization that grants the wishes of children with life-threatening illnesses.
Bradley's wish granters met with us on February 15th. They sat down with Bradley to find out exactly what it is he is dreaming about and would like to wish for. Since this is a very important decision, it took Bradley some time to figure it out. He changed his mind 5 times I think!! Butttt...that's ok!! It's the dreaming that takes his mind off of his illness, and that is what the program is all about.
So...what did he wish for??? Well...since he is a big WWE fan, he wished to go to WWE Wrestle Mania in Miami next year, April, 2012!!
He will not only get to attend Wrestle Mania, but he will also get to meet some of the wrestlers (and mom gets to meet The Rock?? haha), go into the ring, get a world championship belt (not the real one of course), and probably much more!!
He should feel really good next April...almost a year out from transplant...so it will be an amazing trip I'm sure!!
I can't wait!! And I'm sure he can't either!!
Stay tuned for more on this, as his wish granters are going to make sure that the excitement keeps building throughout this next year!!
