Fourteen-year-old Murray has Cystic Fibrosis and is the youngest in his family of six, with three other members also seriously ill. Murray's condition is life-threatening and affects his lungs and digestive system, meaning he spends much time in hospital being treated for infections, in fact 14 times over the past five years.
Murray's amazing attitude to life is a lesson in positive living. "You put up with it, you deal with it, and life goes on. Everything that happens you just have to take in. In hospital it's somewhere you don't want to be but that's how it is," commented Murray.
Starlight is there to brighten Murray's life through the Starlight Express Room, Starlight Escapes and Starlight granted Murray's wish to meet Lleyton Hewitt. "It was one of the best experiences you could ever have in your life, he is my idol, and my hero. Thank you Starlight, it has made me happier, brighter, one thing to be here longer".
Together they played a virtual game of tennis, with Murray winning the match! His mum commented about her son's Starlight Wish saying that, "You might think that it's only one wish, but it's long-lasting and fulfilling."
You'd be hard-pressed to meet a more smiling, laid-back teenager than Murray.
