Tim's wish to ski at Deer Valley Resort

By Make-A-Wish Oregon | Development and Communications

Tim at Deer Valley Resort
Tim at Deer Valley Resort

Much has changed for 15-year-old Tim. “Pre-cancer you go through the day and take note of everything that went wrong,” he said. “But now my perspective has changed. I am more optimistic and positive. It makes for more good days than bad.”

His wish to go on a ski trip with his family in Deer Valley, Utah, also gave him a new outlook. During the wish trip, as he’s enjoying the 12 inches of new snow and tackling the steep slopes, he reflected on his battle with leukemia – all that he’s been through – and realized that it’s all about the journey, not the destination.

Thanks to your support, children like Tim can experience the life-changing impact of a wish.
