Sixteen-year-old Leena has read the Lord of the Rings trilogy three times and has watched the movies four times. Now she has experienced it. Make-A-Wish® Oregon recently granted Leena’s wish to go see the Lord of the Rings movie set in New Zealand - her first overseas trip. Her favorite part of the tour was being able to peek inside Bilbo’s house and take a picture in front of his lush, green garden. “I felt really great. For a while I was almost in shock because I couldn’t believe it was happening.”
Leena’s mom said the wish came at a great time for Leena, who has been battling the ups and downs of cystic fibrosis. She said the greatest joy was watching her daughter have so much fun on the trip.
