James' wish was a sight to see
James had a health condition that was deteriorating.
But with your help, we were able to grant his wish for 'a hot air balloon ride' before it was too late.
James' wish was inspired by the heart-warming Disney movie, 'Up', where a house is lifted into the sky by a bunch of balloons.
Everyone went above and beyond! We even found a hot air balloon that accommodated a wheelchair and James was one of the first people to use it.
