SURVIVOR STORIES

"I wish to go to Discovery Cove"

Meet eight year-old Sam and you have met a dynamic, energetic youngster that won't let Cystic Fibrosis stop him from being a kid! Sam's wish was to "swim with the dolphins", so earlier this year a limousine pulled up to Sam's home to whisk him and his family to Discovery Cove in Florida. In additon to the dolphin adventure, Sam enjoyed a great deal of exciting adventures including a private tour of SeaWorld, an outing to Island of Adventures, a tour of Universal Studios, time at Animal Kingdom, and a trip to the beach where Sam experienced the ocean for the very first time.

"I wish to have a hot tub"

Six year-old Christopher woke early, very early according to his mother Debbie, eager for his wish to come true! Christopher's wish started with a caboodle of family and friends joining him for an afternoon ribbon-cutting ceremony celebrating his brand new "Wish Spa", courtesy of Marquis Spas and The Pool Guys of Troy, Missouri.

While taking a dip in the just-christened spa, Christopher played gleefully with his brother and shouted, "Get in, Mom!' He also had fun chasing rubber ducks through the water. After his awesome water experience, Christopher wrapped himself in colorful beach towels presented to him by a wish granter, Norma Glazebrook, and excitedly returned inside where he enjoyed a "ten pizza" party thanks to the Waterloo Domino's.
