Cyrus as Superhero MindsEye

Cyrus Saves the Day

Chicago's newest superhero is the pint-sized, but mighty MindEye. After recently thwarting evil villain Dr. Laugh and his band of jewelry thieves at Navy Pier, MindsEye was recognized by the Chicago Police Department for his bravery.

MindsEye is the alter ego of wish kid Cyrus, 9 from Chicago. Cyrus, who was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis, is a video game whiz who loves making people smile. He found his strength when he was referred to Make-A-Wish by his medical team at Advocate Children's Hospital in Park Ridge.

Cyrus had a truly memorable wish experience as did the many volunteers and helpers from the Chicago Police Department and community of Make-A-Wish supporters who came together to create Cyrus' special day. Cyrus and the power of his wish will have a lasting impact on everyone involved.
