before they left for Indianapolis.
A wish came true this past weekend, December 16-19, when 14 year
old Aaron Yoder of Shipshewana was
picked up in a limo and driven down
to Indianapolis to meet Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts. Aaron’s
wish came true through the
Make a Wish Foundation.
When asked how he
came to be selected for the
Make a Wish Foundation,
he replied that the nurse
from Westview Elementary,
Ms. Lackey nominated him
to the Foundation to make
a wish. Aaron has Muscular Dystrophy and has to
stay in his wheelchair. The
family was contacted three
months ago to start the
whole process of having
Aaron’s wish granted. Then,
two weeks ago, Foundation
volunteers came up to meet the family
and by the next Tuesday, it was official, Aaron was going to meet Peyton
Manning!
On Friday Morning, Aaron, his
brother Joshua, sister Kara and mother
Becky were picked up at their house in
a Limo provided by the Make a Wish
Aaron holding some Colts memorabilia that he
received on his visit. Here he is holding the signed
yearbook, football, and gloves as well as a hat and
plaque of Peyton Manning.
