"I wish to meet... Michael Jordan!"

Wish Kid Jordan with Michael JordanJordan, a 5 yr old boy from Helotes with Neuroblastoma, wished to meet Michael Jordan. His wish came true last month when his mom, dad, sister and he flew to Chicago on April 6th. Jordan and his family spent an afternoon with Michael Jordan where they visited with Michael and other wish families. Wish child, Jordan, was the youngest fan in the room but he had lots of questions for Michael. One question he asked Michael Jordan was, “Who do you like better, Batman or Spiderman?” Michael replied, “Batman!”

Jordan and his family were treated to a Chicago Bulls basketball game against the Philadelphia 76’ers. They got to sit behind the 76’ers bench and were seen on the television several times by their family in Texas. The family also got to do some sightseeing while in Chicago and visited the Shedd Aquarium, Brookfield Zoo, John Hancock Center, and the Sears Tower. Jordan’s most favorite part of the wish was meeting Michael Jordan in person; he was just in awe and followed him around all afternoon.
