Make-A-Wish Sends Western Md. Boy And Family On Cruise
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) -- The Make-A-Wish Foundation and Allegiant Airlines are sending a western Maryland boy and his family on a cruise to the Bahamas.
Fourteen-year-old Arran Willock of Smithsburg and nine family members leave Monday on a flight to Orlando, Florida, for a four-day Disney cruise.
Arran was born with Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome, a disorder that affects many parts of the body. It is characterized by delayed growth and development, intellectual disability, and seizures.
Las Vegas-based Allegiant donated all 10 flight tickets.
The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.
