07.02.2009 - Give Kids The World

From Julian's COTA journal

How could I forget?

A big part of our Make-A-Wish trip last week had to do with where we actually stayed. Many thanks to the staff and volunteers at Give Kids the World, an incredible themed village of houses, restaurants and amenities whose sole purpose is to provide lodging for families like ours. They provided us with a wonderful place to rest with our group when we weren't running around the theme parks. You can visit them here.

07.01.2009 - Make A Wish!

From Julian's COTA journal


We arrived home last night from an incredible week at Disneyworld in Florida with the Arizona Make-A-Wish Foundation. It was amazing! We had the opportunity to meet several other wonderful Make-A-Wish families from all over the country, each facing their own unique set of challenges. We spent a week exhausting ourselves at Walt Disney World, an incredible experience all on its own. And we got to meet and spend time with our trip hosts, Kurt and Brenda Warner, along with their children. Kurt Warner is the quarterback for the Arizon Cardinals. He and his wife Brenda have a beautiful family. Kurt's foundation, First Things First, sponsored this trip. You can learn more about Kurt's foundation here.

It was a fantastic week, and we had a great time! Thanks to everyone at Make-A-Wish and First Things First for making it happen - this really was a once-in-a-lifetime trip.

As you can see, Julian can't wait to leave for Disneyworld on his Make-A-Wish trip. I hauled the luggage to start packing, and he immediately "pitched in." He's super-excited! The Make-A-Wish arrives at 7:00 tomorrow morning. It should be a great trip.
