Off to the Races!

A Familiar Retreat

A Rejuvenating Trip
Bryan Szekacs, a popular English teacher from Springfield, enjoyed a trip with his family. He was reluctant make a wish request because he didn’t "look sick." He was assured that Angel Foundation wishes are perfect for someone like him who has a terminal illness but is still able to enjoy themselves. After his trip he said, “It rejuvenated me, and the time with my wife and sons made me hungrier for life!”
Cake and a Slice of Chicago
Kim Feehan of Stryker received a terminal diagnosis at age 50. Throughout her healthcare journey, she grew connected to
the staff at Mercy Health – Defiance Hospital and was a big fan of the chocolate cake there. Her wish included a hospital chocolate cake and a trip to Chicago; visiting Millennium Park, Shedd Aquarium, and enjoying authentic Chicago-style hot dogs and pizza.
