Wish Comes True For Land O'Lakes Teen
Steven, 18, of Land O'Lakes lives with malignant neoplasm of the brain. When presented with an opportunity for a wish, he chose to visit Hawaii. Steven’s wish came true, courtesy of United Health Foundation and Make-A-Wish®.
According to Steven’s wish granters, he looks forward to relaxing with his mother, Mary Anne, and older brother, Chris, in Oahu. He celebrates two important milestones with them -- On May 30th, he graduated Magna Cum Laude with an honor society stole from Land O'Lakes High School. (He is planning on studying marine biology). More importantly, Steven celebrates a recent scan that came back cancer-free.
“We are very happy to play a role in making Steven’s wish come true and we celebrate him being cancer-free,” said David Lewis, CEO, UnitedHealthcare of Florida. “Make-A-Wish truly makes a positive impact in our communities and brings joy to so many children courageously facing life-threatening medical conditions.”
