NEWTON SQUARE,Pa.(March2022): Owen is a huge fan of Star Wars, and the one place that he really dreamed of going was Disney World. In addition to all the Disney magic, one of its parks has StarWars: Galaxy’s Edge, an area of attractions dedicated to his favorite movie saga. With Owen’s wish coming true, his out of this world adventure is not so far far away. Kids Wish Network gave his family generous Disney gift cards that his family can use for theme park tickets, dining, souvenirs and more, a gift certificate for their airfare, and a gift card for the family’s preferred hotel accommodations. Owen’s wish will be even more than he dreamed of with tickets to Universal Orlando provided by the Florida theme park, and tickets to LEGOLAND courtesy of Merlin’s Magic Wand.

Owen has diastematomyelia, a congenital disorder where part of the spinal cord is split, and spinabifida, a birth defect that occurs when the spine and spinal cord don't form properly. One of his legs is paralyzed, and he utilizes a wheelchair and walker to get around. Owen has been through many challenges in his young life. His wish will be a very special time of family togetherness.

Many Thanks
