Wish = Granted! ⭐💫
Daniel’s wish to meet his hero, Xavier Worthy, became a reality and it was even more special than he imagined! Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas, Make-A-Wish East Tennessee & the The Kansas City Chiefs coordinated to make Daniel's wish a reality.

Daniel and Xavier spent quality time together at The University of Kansas Health System training complex playing video games, sharing laughs, and creating memories Daniel will never forget. What makes this wish even more meaningful is the incredible full-circle connection behind it…

In 2024, wish kid Justin had the honor of announcing The Kansas City Chiefs first-round NFL Draft pick, helping introduce Xavier Worthy to Chiefs Kingdom and marking the beginning of his NFL journey.
Now, Xavier is giving back by helping grant wishes for children like Daniel, who have cheered him on from the very start. ✨💫

At GKTW, Creed waved his wand with Stellar the Star Fairy and placed his very own personalized star inside the Castle of Miracles, creating memories his family will treasure forever. 🌟 Then Creed visited Universal Orlando Resort, where he stepped into the world of his favorite game at Nintendo of America's Super Nintendo World—collecting coins, taking on Bowser, and smiling from ear to ear. 🤗 For Creed, this wish wasn’t just a trip...it was a moment to pause, heal from his kidney transplant and experience pure joy. 💙 Even after the toughest journeys, hope and magic shine the brightest. ✨💫 Saturday October 10th and Sunday October 11th at St. Charles Harley-Davidson and Big St. Charles Motorsports is the 18th annual Ride for Wishes benefitting the kids of Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas.
