A dream come true...
Nine year old Tyran was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy or DMD when he first started school. Tyran will soon be in a wheelchair and slowly have his life taken away. He will be lucky to reach 20 years old.
Last year Tyran was given the opportunity for his Starlight Wish to be granted. His wish was something that touched not only his family but the entire team at Starlight. Tyran’s wish was simple, to walk up to Uluru and touch it while he could still walk.
The highlight of the wish was the moment when Tyran did in fact touch Uluru for the first time. He had told the other guests on the tour that this was his Starlight Wish and what the trip meant to him – so they all stood back to let him have his first moments alone – everyone watching with tears in their eyes to see the look on Tyran’s face.
Currently, 439 children are still waiting to have their Starlight Wish granted. Unless our financial situation improves, less than half of these seriously ill children will be given the opportunity this year for their own life changing experience.
