At just eight years old, Kevin was diagnosed with a heart condition and was referred to Make-A-Wish Illinois. After careful thought, he chose a Disney cruise with his family, a joyful escape filled with unforgettable memories on the water.

Now, 28 years later, Kevin is a proud father who coaches his child in bowling and basketball. His wish continues to be a source of strength and is wishing it forward as an active Make-A-Wish Illinois volunteer.

“Every time I get some bad news about my health, I think about my wish, and I realize I have come this far and will not let a little hiccup get in my way.”
