Make-A-Wish Grants Disney World Trips to Young Cancer Survivors Across U.S.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation continues to grant life-changing wishes for children battling critical illnesses, with recent examples including six-year-old Avera from Missouri and four-year-old Mason from Iowa, both receiving surprise trips to Disney World after overcoming cancer. Avera, who battled a stage 4 Wilms tumor, was surprised at a McDonald's event before her family’s trip to Disney World. Mason, who entered remission from leukemia, was also surprised with a Disney trip during his "golden birthday," where he looks forward to meeting favorite heroes and attending Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. The foundation highlights the emotional and physical benefits of wish experiences, as shared by past wish recipients like Jadwin Williams, who found renewed strength through her Disney wish after brain cancer treatment. Additionally, Make-A-Wish and Charitybuzz are offering a unique chance to win an "Ultimate Fairytale Escape" vacation at Disney World, including a stay in the Cinderella Castle Suite, to raise funds supporting the foundation’s mission. These stories and initiatives underscore the foundation’s commitment to bringing hope and joy to children and families facing critical health challenges.
