Aubrey was diagnosed with having a neuroblastoma on her spine. This is a cancerous tumor that is usually found in infants and young children. Aubrey immediately underwent surgery, but surgeons could not remove some parts of the tumor on her spinal column. She must be monitored carefully, is on cancer medications and must have blood work done frequently.

When the little seven-year-old was face-to-face with her favorite WWE Superstar CM Punk, “she was just in awe,” said her mother, Cassandra. As for the wrestlers, “they thought that Aubrey was the cutest little thing!” in fact, while up there with CM Punk, another wrestling Superstar, Shawn Michaels, greeted Aubrey and knew her story. This thrilled Aubrey, who said after the meet and greet, “Mom! CM Punk musta talked about me!”

After meeting her hero, Aubrey and her family got to watch the WWE match as invited guests. Aubrey pointed out wrestlers left and right! She had the time of her young life and has plenty of memories to go along with it.

When I called seven year old Aubrey from Ludington Michigan to introduce myself and ask about her wish, I never dreamed this tiny little girl would wish to meet a big bad wrestler such as CM Punk.  After speaking with Aubrey I did find out she is a huge wrestling fan and her number one wish was to meet Punk.  Aubrey has been battling neuroblastoma, a form of cancer for the past two years.  I quickly got to work and contacted WWE and was delighted to find out that Aubrey would be able to meet CM Punk in my own town, Tampa, Florida.  I began making travel plans for the family.
