    Default Making a Wish Come True

    Here's a heartwarming story of how the local residents in Big Bear made a dying boys wish come true.

    Tristan Crouse, Diagnosed with Lekemia 3 years ago, now has 30 days to live.

    He is 5 years old.

    His wish was to come up to the snow and ride in a dog sled.

    To make a long story short, He was to ill to make the trip up to the mountains (7000' elevation)
    So Big Bear brought the snow to him.

    They got dump trucks filled with snow, took them down the mountain to the hospital, Brought in the local dog sledding group, and gave him the day he had wished for.

    The request came in on monday, and he enjoyed his 'Day in the snow' today.

    All I can say is Wow!!

    At first I had said to myself that I would rather of not seen this tread, for it hits so close to home. This is always in the back of my mind especially since my son Tyler has relapsed. It was a great relief when I read he was improving.
    I do thank you for posting it BigBearSteve.
    I will keep a watch for more more news, but if you find out more please post.

    I got an update on today on young Tristen.

    He is now 120 days into remission

    He is currently undergoing maintenance chemotherapy three times a week.

    It appears he is doing well currently, and hope is, his good fortune will continue
