Five children fighting critical illnesses are getting the chance to take the field like Seattle Seahawks players as part of a special wish experience
Five children fighting critical illnesses are getting the chance to take the field like Seattle Seahawks players as part of a special wish experience with the team and Make-A-Wish.
The children took part in a VIP Seahawks experience Thursday, complete with tunnel introductions, a mock press conference, and a welcome from Blitz and the Seahawks dancers.
Among the participants is Aiden, 18, of Tacoma, who is living with kidney disease and wished to meet the Seahawks.
An image of Aiden. (Make-A-Wish Alaska & Washington)Aiden’s favorite player is Jaxon Smith-Njigba because of the wide receiver’s determination — a quality Aiden shares as he battles his illness.
The children’s wishes will culminate Saturday, Aug. 15, with special sideline access before the Seahawks’ preseason opener against the Dallas Cowboys.
Kickoff is scheduled for 5 p.m.
Make-A-Wish, Alaska- Washington chapter has granted 118 wishes since the chapter started in 1986.
