Make-A-Wish Foundation offers young cancer patient shopping spree for favourite toys
Max Tucker has enjoyed a Lego shopping trip courtesy of the Make-A-Wish Foundation...
Just one of the charity's latest wishes come true... The six-year-old grabbed his favourite building bricks at a Lego store in London, whilst being following around by two Star Wars storm-troopers in full uniform and regalia, his favourite Lego character toys.
The youngster from Romsey who suffers from acute lymphoblastic leukaemia was asked by the Make-A-Wish Foundation what he would like for his wish… The young man chose a trip Lego shopping for his favourite Star Wars toys because he says the toys help to cheer him up while he is undergoing treatment.
The wish was granted by Make-A-Wish Foundation UK, the charity that grants wishes to youngsters aged 3-17 who are facing life-threatening conditions.
Other recent wishes granted by the UK branch of the international charity include a wish for a young Newcastle United football fan, Ryan, who was born diagnosed with a rare condition of the oesophagus and the trachea and was granted his wish of meeting Newcastle United coach Alan Pardew.
Other wishes from the charity lately include one for 13-year-old Amber who wanted to visit The Royal Ballet and have a dance class. The youngster has been diagnosed with a cancer tumour of the muscles.
