It takes more than a bump in the road to buck Justin out of the saddle. Even with the medical problems he has faced his entire life, this 13-year-old honor student believes in living his life with a positive attitude and a cheerful disposition. Justin suffers from chronic renal failure and is under the constant medical attention of his doctors. And, also true to his character, when he was granted a wish from the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Justin chose a trip to Walt Disney World so that his family could all share in his wish. Everyone stayed at the Give Kids The World Village while visiting the Magic Kingdom, and the wonderful people of Disney made sure Justin and his family were treated like royalty. Justin hit all the theme parks, and of course, tackled all the scary rides, including Hulk, The Tower of Terror and Space Mountain. For the entire week, Justin was king - everyone in his family spent the week just trying to keep up with him! In addition to the rides, Justin also met some of his favorite Disney friends, including Disney's first couple, Mickey and Minnie. For a young man who braves a very serious medical condition every day, this trip was the chance to forget about medicines and doctors - a chance to reconnect to the fun of just being a kid again. For Justin's mom, this trip was a blessing that she won't ever forget.

From Justin’s Mom: "The one moment that stands out is when Justin found out his wish would be granted. He would not stop talking about it and he stayed up all night the day before we left. He was very happy!"
