Make a Wish

On July 27, I drove to Brantford to witness and photograph a little boy receiving his wish come true through the Make a Wish Foundation. Along with Great Escape Hot Tubs of Cambridge, a Marquis hot tub was delivered to Carson's house and the Brantford Fire Department showed up to fill up the new tub.
It was a great day and I'm glad Cat, a good friend of the family was there too. The fire fighters also took Carson for a ride around the block and to our pleasant surprise, they left a pair of boots and pants behind so Cat and I had some fun trying them on.
Here are some of the photos from that day.




With the help of a Brantford Firefighter, Carson Huelin, 6 holds the hose that fills his new hot tub. Huelin received a hot tub through the Make A Wish Foundation of South Western Ontario. Huelin lives with Batten Disease, a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disorder, causing the brain to be unable to break down proteins, causing brain cells to die and eventually immobility, and lack of speech, among other things. Great Escape Hot Tub Company of Cambridge delivered the Marquis Spa to Huelin's house on Tuesday. Huelin's older sister, Jamie passed away in April with the same disease at the age of nine. Huelin's family chose the hot tub in order to give him a way to relax his muscles and body.








Huelin also got to take a ride around the block in a fire truck with the Brantford Fire Department, along side his father, Sheldon.


Cat and I enjoy our time trying on the fire fighting gear while the others go for a ride.
