Jaedin Makes A Wish | ||
Jaedin's cardiologist nominated him to be granted a wish through the Make-a-Wish Foundation. His wish came true in January 2008. Read the background behind Jaedin's heart condition and the story behind his wish. Here are some photos of his unforgettable experience (sorry for the long download time - someday I'll break this into more pages to speed things up.) |
