My Wish: Charlie Coaches the Philadelphia Eagles

Charlie Pena is a New York kid who roots for the Philadelphia Eagles. While his sickle cell anemia prevents him from becoming a football player, he finds another way to connect with his team. Charlie wishes to join the Eagle's coaching staff.
"My Wish" is a collaborative effort with Make-A-Wish that chronicles the granting of unique sports-related wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions.
Make-A-Wish® grants the wish of a child diagnosed with a life-threatening medical condition in the United States and its territories, on average, every 38 minutes. We believe that a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides us. It inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve.
