Inspiring 9-Year-Old Perseveres With a Smile

Marquette struggles with very challenging medical conditions, yet he loves to make new friends and is always incredibly happy and smiling. He never lets his physical health hold him back. Marquette adores playing basketball, and always gives it his all. “He is a true Hero because he perseveres and never gives up no matter how difficult anything is for him to do,” said his Parent Consultant Stacy Mitchell at Children’s Rehabilitation Services in Anniston, Alabama. “If you’re down, he is so loving and caring. With all that he’s been through, he still likes to do things that other children do. He’s so happy and has a lot of love to share.” Mitchell nominated this inspiring 9-year-old who leads by example with his positivity and determination. Kids Wish Network is honored to award Marquette as a Hero.
