Make-A-Wish for Gavin

I am not sure all of you know this.... My cousin, Becci, has a son named Gavin. He is 9 years old and has been fighting Leukemia for a year. Thankfully, he is in remission and doing well. He recently got granted a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. They are a wonderful foundation that grants wishes to kids that are ill.

When filling out the paperwork for Gavin's wish, Becci stated that he likes car racing. When his wish was to be granted, Make-A-Wish called Becci and asked if Gavin would like to go to France to see the Grand Prix. Becci said that she would have to ask him if that is what he would like to do. Gavin said, "No, I would just like to go somewhere with a beach and relax." The wish was granted and they are going to Maui. I think that is the cutest story. That shows the difference of thinking between a 9 year old and an adult. What adult would not want to go to France? :)

These pictures are of us at his luau send off party at the Make-A-Wish building in Murray. It was a lot of fun.

Have fun in Hawaii Gavin! We are so happy that you are doing well. You are such a fighter! We love you!
