Name: Spencer
Age: 12
State: OK
Spencer is a bright 12-year-old who loves to smile. He’s talkative and friendly with a wonderful attitude. Spencer enjoys playing guitar and piano and he’s also quite good at math. When he’s not playing games on his game systems or computers, Spencer likes to watch baseball, basketball or golf on TV.
In 2008, Spencer was diagnosed with Vascular Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, which is a disease of the vascular tissues that causes his blood vessels and his organs to become more prone to tearing. In addition, Spencer also suffers from Bilateral Hip Dysplasia and has suffered through reconstructive hip surgery for this condition. After the surgery, Spencer was in a full body cast for 6 weeks and had to endure yet another surgery to remove the rods, screws and plates in his femurs. Spencer bruises very easily because of his condition, he must visit his doctors frequently and will most likely have to have his hips replaced in the future.
For his wish, Spencer just wants to relax away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life by taking a cruise. Get out your sunscreen, Spencer, because you’re about to hop on board!
