FOXBOROUGH, MA (December 2016): Gillette Stadium – home of Super Bowl champions, the New England Patriots. For any football fan, visiting Gillette is exciting, but for William, a visit to this iconic NFL landmark was the trip of a lifetime! 

Football was an escape for William. Watching his favorite team gave him a momentary break from the pain and daily struggles with osteosarcoma. But it was his hero, Tom Brady, who made him smile the most. For such a football fan, there was only one wish that would be a game-changer, so Kids Wish Network teamed up with the Patriots organization to make William’s ultimate football wish come true! 

William and his family made the trip to Gillette Stadium, toured the facility, caught a game, got some autographed merchandise, and then spent some one-on-one time with William’s hero, Tom Brady. This precious time with his idol gave William lasting memories that he would hold dear for his remaining life. Sadly, William lost his long battle with cancer, but we were honored to be able to provide William with his extraordinary experience.

Many Thanks

 Kids Wish Network could not have provided this wish to William without Tom Brady and the help of the Patriots organization who believe in making wishes come true for kids who need hope.
