For Matt, a brave and spirited young football fan, life took an unexpected turn when he was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Despite the challenges, Matt’s love for the game and his favorite team, the New England Patriots, remained unshaken. His one true wish? To meet his heroes and step onto the field where legends play.

Thanks to the incredible partnership between Make-A-Wish New Hampshire and the Patriots, Matt’s dream became a reality in the most magical way.

Matt’s journey began with an unforgettable visit to Gillette Stadium, where he stepped onto the iconic field, the same turf where so many unforgettable moments in Patriots history have unfolded. Waiting for him before the start of the game was none other than his favorite player, David Andrews.

David greeted Matt with open arms and a warm smile, ready to share an experience that Matt would never forget.

But the surprises didn’t end there. As Matt was soaking in the joy of his day, he was introduced to Robert Kraft, the owner of the New England Patriots. Mr. Kraft warmly welcomed Matt and took a moment to express his admiration for Matt’s strength and resilience.

For Matt, this wasn’t just a wish—it was a day filled with magic, hope, and the kind of joy that transcends challenges. Meeting his heroes, playing on the field, and being part of the Patriots family for a day gave Matt memories that will last a lifetime.

Thanks to the generosity of the New England Patriots and the unwavering support of the Make-A-Wish community, Matt’s wish became more than he ever imagined. It was a reminder that even in the face of adversity, moments of pure happiness can shine through.
