Marvin Goes to Orlando

During the 7th Annual Cruisin' The Coast® event a 1939 Chevy Coupe was raffled with the proceeds benefitting the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Mississippi. One boy who benefitted from the generosity of the participants was 8-year-old Marvin. Marvin is from Pass Christian and suffers from Hunter's Syndrome, a hereditary disease that is passed on to male children. Marvin's greatest wish was to go to Orlando with his family.

He and his family all packed their bags and took off for an adventure filled week in Orlando. They were swept away to New Orleans to catch their flight that would lead them to seven fun-filled days. There is not much that Marvin and his family didn't do when they were there. They had to start off in Disney's Magic Kingdom, of course. But his fun just couldn't stop there. With all that Orlando has to offer, Marvin - just had to see and do it all.

So off they went to Epcot, Animal Kingdom, MGM, Universal Studios, and Sea World. Sometimes a picture can say it all. By the smile on Marvin's face it was a week he truly enjoyed and a chance for everyone to forget about being sick. These memories will last a lifetime.
