Make-A-Wish Foundation Grants Girl a Trip to Greece

This year on World Wish Day, Make-A-Wish Foundation will grant a teen’s wish from Virginia for a trip to Greece, and more specifically to the lovely island of Santorini. 16-year-old Maureen Marsh was surprised with a visit to the Embassy of Greece, arriving by a luxurious limousine and carrying a big bouquet of flowers. This visit however, marked another future and longer visit to Greece. Maureen was a volleyball player at Langley High School, but after some time she suffered from knee pains. She was diagnosed was bone cancer. Maureen had her knee joint and part of her femur replaced. She battled through weeks of chemotherapy.  Greek Ambassador Vassilis Kaskarelis stated that he was really thrilled and impressed because such a brave girl chose Greece to make her wish real. On this World Wish Day, the Make-A-Wish Foundation treated Maureen to a taste of what she’ll see, when she and her family will visit the famous Greek island. Meanwhile, the Mayor of Santorini declared her via Skype an honorary citizen and with excitement she danced to Greek music on her new knee. Maureen feels so grateful and happy for the granting of her wish. She and her family will visit Greece on July 7th with the help of some “angels”.
