Amir Brown is one of the “Wish Kids.” Brown has been battling sickle cell anemia since he was three days old.
He and his family received a trip to Hawaii through Make-a-Wish. This year he’ll be walking with Bright House Networks as our team ambassador.
The “Walk for Wishes” fundraiser is set for Saturday, April 30 at Curtis Hixon Park from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Organizers say the event’s success is critical to it granting the wishes of children battling life threatening medical conditions.
Organizers hope to raise over $200,000 to support Make-A-Wish Central and Northern Florida. Currently, they are 90 percent of the way toward reaching their goal.
