This Celebrity Just Granted His 500th Make-A-Wish for Sick Children
Twenty-three World Heavyweight Championships aren’t nearly as impressive as holding the record for most wishes granted through the Make-A-Wish Foundation.
Last week, wrestling champ John Cena granted his 500th wish to Rocco Lanzer, an eight-year-old boy who has been battling leukemia.
“He’s nice and strong and inspirational,” Rocco said before Cena surprised him on the Today Show. “He reminds kids to never give up.”
Cena took a seat next to Rocco on the couch and presented him with a championship belt and tickets to his next show.
John Cena granted his first wish in 2004, and kids across the country have been requesting to meet him ever since.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation began granting wishes for children living with life-threatening medical conditions in the 1980’s. Their first wish was granted to seven-year-old Christopher James Greicius, who got to spend the day living out his dream of being a police officer.
