Sam Short, 16, of Columbus, Ohio, was diagnosed with spinal cancer in 2018. He chose to do two days of boot camp at Parris Island for his Make-A-Wish.
"Everyone has a battle to fight. The Marines are protecting the United States and Sam's battle is with his health." "When you help grant a wish, you restore hope for a child and help them reclaim their childhood." "He just couldn't take the smile off his face." Ann W. Schmidt is a lifestyle reporter and editor for Fox News Digital.
Sam Short's wish? To go to Parris Island, South Carolina, to endure two days of training at the Marine Corps boot camp.
"Even though they were just two-and-a-half days — it really was a life-changing experience for Sam," Tori Short, Sam's mom, told Fox News Digital.
