Spotlight
Every mile has a purpose.

Noah spent much of his childhood facing medical treatments and challenges most kids never experience. When his wish came true, he traded doctor's appointments for lightsabers, superheroes, roller coasters, and magical memories with his family at Walt Disney World.

"It was the best time of my life." - Noah

This is why we run.

Every participant helps bring more moments like Noah's to children waiting for their own wish to come true.

✨ Read Noah's incredible story and see the lasting impact of a wish: https://wish.org/eastnc/noahs-wish-trip-disney-world

Because behind every bib is a wish waiting to come true. πŸ’™
