Grande Prairie boy, 6, granted Make-A-Wish trip to Cancun after beating leukemia
RCMP and city police officers surprised the boy at his home with a wish box, honouring his dream of becoming a police officer.
Six-year-old Rowan of Grande Prairie has been granted a wish by the Make-A-Wish Foundation after battling leukemia since December 2022. He recently rang the bell marking the completion of his cancer treatment.
Rowan chose a trip to Cancun, Mexico, so he can swim in the ocean with his family. The Make-A-Wish Foundation said receiving his wish helped give him strength to continue fighting through his illness.
Last Friday, Grande Prairie RCMP and city police officers visited Rowan's home to present him with his wish box in person, a gesture tied to his goal of becoming a police officer when he grows up.
