A wish isn't just nice: it's NECESSARY for kids battling critical illnesses, providing emotional & physical strength for better health outcomes. ❤️ @CarleyShimkus & Make-A-Wish's Jared Perry explain why. via @FoxFriendsFirst@foxnews https://t.co/oneXEtpPVc #FoxNews
45 years ago, Linda Pauling's 7-year-old son Chris, battling leukemia, got his wish to be a @Arizona_DPS police officer. That moment sparked the Make-A-Wish Foundation, healing countless families through hope & generosity. Her powerful story in @Newsweek. ✨Please share if this inspires you! https://t.co/FWeq29dAkT
I encourage you to look for opportunities to engage in the kind of collective action that brings people together and spreads joy. https://t.co/3S1zwa4Mhn
How bout this proof how life can sometimes come full circle? ⭕️💫❤️
I’ve had the privilege of granting hundreds and hundreds of kid’s wishes from @makeawish and every single one has changed my life every single time.
And looking back to when I was a kid - my dad, Rocky Johnson was actually one of Make-A-Wish’s VERY FIRST WISH GRANTERS back in the 80’s.
My dad was a very tough, no BS guy who wasn’t big on emotions. But when I saw him take this little boy, Bobby out of his wheelchair and hold him in his arms - I’d never seen my dad so loving, warm, caring and ATTENTIVE in my life.
As a kid I remember thinking how surprised I was seeing my dad that warm and how cool it was to me, that my dad was a hero.
But now as a man, I look back and think that the REAL HERO is that little boy Bobby, and my dad was LUCKY to have the honor of making little Bobby’s wish come true.
I don’t have a ton of memories of my dad being so loving like this so it means a lot to me to relive this and this also reminds me of the power of MAKE A WISH.
Thanks everyone for supporting @MakeAWish, as I will always hold the foundation and ALL THE KIDS very close to my heart — I’ll leave you with one of my favorite quotes /
It’s nice to be important, but it’s more important to be nice.
