The maker of Gravol has been proudly supporting Children’s Wish since 2008, helping kids like Emily, Jessica, Sydney and Isabella.
Emily’s Story
Nine-year-old Emily has been through a lot in her young life. Diagnosed with a brain tumour, she had to undergo surgery to have it removed. It was an unimaginably difficulttime for Emily and her family. Children’s Wish granted her most heartfelt wish for a trip to Hawaii and gave Emily and her family much needed relief from the pressures of a life-threatening illness.
Sydney’s Story
Sydney, 13 years old, suffers from Significant Immune Deficiency, Autoimmune Neutrepenia, Thrombocytopenia, and Chronic Lung Disease. Her wish was to swim with the dolphins and sea lions at the Atlantis Resort in the Bahamas. In February 2011, Sydney got her wish, creating special memories with the people she loves most.
Jessica’s Story
Jessica, 13 years old and battling a form of cancer called Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, has always loved camping with her family, but exposure to germs made it risky in the past. In 2011, Children’s Wish gave Jessica her very own camping trailer, so she can enjoy her favourite pastime without worrying about her health.
Isabella’s Story
Between 2007 and early 2009, Isabella received chemotherapy for optic gliomas, which could have caused blindness if they were left untreated. The gliomas were caused by a condition called neurofibromatosis type1 (NF1). But Isabella is a trouper, and she tackled her treatment well. Isabella was thrilled to get her wish to spend Christmas of 2009 with her idols, Mickey and Minnie Mouse at Disney World in Florida—a great Christmas for a four year old.
