BACKGROUND:
Lebanon's 5-year-old Kambryn has Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. His wish celebration will be a total surprise as has been confined indoors for more than a year due to low immunity levels and treatments for his illness. Over thirty friends and family will join them at his wish celebration. The surprise is significant as Monday is the first time Kambryn has been out and able to enjoy all of his friends and family in one place. Also joining the celebration will be John and Barbara Evans of Next Generation Underwriters, who provided the funding for Kambryn's wish.
Kambryn's Wish:
To Go To Walt Disney World With Parents and His Four Brothers and Sisters
"We have been counting the days until Kambryn's trip to Orlando," his mom told Dena Bell, Kambryn's wish granter from the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Kambryn chose this wish because he wants to ride the roller coasters and loves the movie CARS. Plus he wants to meet Diego of Go Diego Go at Universal Studios. Kambryn will be able to enjoy every aspect of his wish as children receiving Walt Disney World wishes stay at Give Kids the World and also receive a one-park-hopper pass to go to their choice of Universal Studios, Islands of Adventure, or Sea World.
"Playing a small part in this special moment for Kambryn is an honor and privilege for the entire Next Generation Underwriters family," said John Evans, president of Next Generation Underwriters. "We hope to continue our involvement with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Middle Tennessee and their efforts to support so many inspiring local children." The Evanses and Next Generation Underwriters have also adopted two other wishes of children in Middle Tennessee.
