Ryan... I wish to go to Hawaii

14 year old, Ryan from Champlin was diagnosed with Burkitt’s Lymphoma. When he was referred to the Make-A-Wish  Foundation and asked what his one true wish might be, he said he wanted to go to Hawaii to fish, snorkel try surfing, and go swimming in the ocean. 

 

Ryan and his family went to Hawaii and got to have a relaxing vacation where they could have fun and forget about doctor’s visits and treatments. Ryan said he really enjoyed snorkeling and seeing all the colorful fish. But what he liked the most was the Luau because he’s never been to one before and it was really different! (photo right)

 

“Thank you for letting me go to Hawaii…it was a memory I will remember forever!”

 

The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Minnesota was able to make this dream a reality thanks to the generosity of our donors and volunteers!
