Last year, MTR granted the wishes of two children. It was such a fulfilling experience that we decided to participate in the Make a Wish Walk for Wishes by forming a team. “Team Tyler & MTR” has a goal to raise $6,000 to grant the wish of a child. This is the average amount it takes to grant a child’s wish.

With $6,000, MTR will be able to grant the wish of Tyler who is battling Burkitt’s Lymphoma. Burkitt’s is a dangerous non-Hodgkins Lymphoma that generally strikes people between the ages of 12-30. Tyler is currently undergoing a difficult chemo regimen. He hopes that he will be able to fulfill his wish by going on a Caribbean Cruise with his family in December.

The 3-mile family friendly walk will be held at Creekside Park in Gahanna on August 16th at 9:30 am. It will begin and end at Creekside and will wind through the beautiful trails of Gahanna’s parks. At the end of the walk, everyone is welcome to join us to celebrate The 25^th Anniversary of the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Greater Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. The party will include family entertainment for all ages including live music, mascots, activities, and a light meal for all event participants and volunteers. We hope you will be able to join us!

If you are interested in helping MTR reach its goal, please make checks payable to Make-a-Wish Foundation and send by August 29th to:
