Shop ‘til you drop!!! Braden is diagnosed with Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and recently received his wish to have an in-person shopping spree local to his home in the Tri-Cities area. The 16-year-old chose a shopping spree as his wish because he wanted to have his favorite items that would truly bring him joy! Braden enjoyed his day being treated to lunch then escorted around Wal-Mart for his Make-A-Wish shopping spree experience. He was able to get automotive parts, electronics, and outdoor equipment – all the things he loves!

Braden enjoys hiking, exploring the mountains, and playing video games. He hopes to become an autobody mechanic someday because he loves fixing cars. Braden likes to spend his free time by playing paintball with friends, playing with his cat and dog (Karen and Hank), and watching movies. Braden also excels in science class in school.
