Oliver's wish to see the Northern Lights in Alaska

Meet 7-year-old Oliver from Houston, TX, who wished to see the Northern Lights in Alaska!

When Oliver was 3 years old, he read a book about the Northern Lights and has been captivated with all thing’s astronomy ever since. Reflecting on his wish, Oliver’s mom said, “We chased the Northern Lights, and it was our lucky night because we found them! We met reindeer and took them for a walk in a beautiful snow-covered forest. Oliver and his dad went ice fishing, where Oliver caught salmon that was cooked on-site. AND we went dog sledding/mushing and played with the dogs! Oliver and his older sister, Giorgiana, helped drive the sleds for a 5-mile adventure while mom, dad, and baby sister Cecily enjoyed the ride. This activity might have been the fan-favorite! Truly an adventure of a lifetime!” 

THANK YOU Sun & Ski Sports for hosting a wonderful wish celebration for Oliver and his family! Sun & Ski fitted Oliver with the all the winter gear he would need for his trip. We are so grateful for their support!
