Aaron is a happy thirteen-year-old boy from Elgin who dreams of becoming a pilot. Like many other boys his age, he likes to play and chat on the computer. Aaron is a “World of Warcraft” expert. He loves the Chicago Bears and listening to heavy metal music. Last year, Aaron was diagnosed with germinoma, which is a type of germ cell tumor.
Aaron’s ultimate wish was to be a pilot for a day. Thanks to Make-A-Wish and Slay-A-Thon 2008, his dream came true! Aaron and his family traveled in style by limo to the Midwest Flight Academy where he received his first ever flight lesson! After his amazing time in the air, he was taken out to dinner and then surprised with four additional flying lessons in the upcoming weeks. Aaron was flying high after his amazing adventure in the air and will never forget the day his biggest wish came true.
