Dear Make-A-Wish®,

I cannot begin to thank you for granting my wish to visit Australia.  The experience you have given my family and me is one in a million. We had an amazing time scuba diving off the Great Barrier Reef, exploring the fauna of the rainforest, and trying new and different Australian foods. I saw beautiful tropical fish while scuba diving in 40-foot deep crystal clear waters. With great tour guides, my family and I learned of the delicate ecosystem of Australia. The sights we saw on the scenic railroad and the sky rail were breathtaking. On the days that we had no activities planned we relaxed on one of the many gorgeous beaches or swam in the Esplanade. During our travels back home, we were able to take a taxi into Sydney and take pictures at the Sydney Opera House.

Everyone had a great time and enjoyed a well-deserved vacation! After years of treatment, recovery, and post-treatment checkups, I am very grateful to have been given the chance to explore a country that I have always wanted to visit. I have many pictures from the trip that I would like to send you! Thank you for giving me this once in a lifetime opportunity.

Thanks,
Sydney 

P.S. Please forward this email and the pictures to everyone else who contributed in planning my fantastic wish! Specifically Gretchen and Yael !
