Thank you Make A Wish Hawaii for making Gemmas wish so magical. The entire team of volunteers, life guards, surf instructors and the Hamilton family all went above and beyond to make the week fabulous for all 10 of the wish children. They enjoyed a Hawaiian Luau, surfing, sand castle making, lai making, Hula lessons, tubing the ditch, snorkeling, watching Soul Surfer and private time with Bethany. They all overcame fears and embraced the challenge of learning something new. Friendships were made. All these children are my HERO'S. Each child facing obstacles in life with their health and never giving up.

So glad Gemma and your family had such a wonderful trip! Thank you Make a Wish for all that you do! Love all the smiles!
I love the expression of Gemma in picture #7. It's like her facial expression is saying "don't worry dude, I got this"! Classic!
