The Make-A-Wish foundation recently fulfilled Alex’s wish to attend the NHL All-Star Game here in Columbus, Ohio. Alex, was born premature and is fighting a life-threatening neurological condition. He is a quadriplegic and non-verbal. But Alex finds joy in hockey, so his wish was one that Make-A-Wish was happy to fulfill. Granting wishes brings hope, strength, and joy back to a kids life by making their own dream or goal come true. It’s great to see how our team and community rallied to make this wish special for Alex and his family. For the full story about Alex check out this article.
