This month, Black Press Media has teamed up with and BraveFace to help grant wishes, . Here鈥檚 one wish that was granted through the Make-A-Wish B.C. and Yukon chapter鈥�

While some wishes of critically ill children involve far-off destinations, many have dreams much closer to home, but equally rich with experiences. Some wish to meet their sports hero, others to live 鈥渁 day in the life鈥� of a firefighter, for example.

For five-year-old Moss, who had undergone surgery and a six-month chemotherapy treatment for a Wilms鈥� Tumour, he wished for a ski chairlift experience.

The young Kootenay boy loves to ski, but his local hill only has a T-bar. He wanted to use a chair lift, and thanks to the generosity of donors to the Make-A-Wish Foundation of BC & Yukon, Moss鈥檚 wish came true.

鈥淲hen Moss finished his six-month chemotherapy treatment, he began to recover from his whole ordeal,鈥� says mom, Julie. 鈥淲hen Moss was able to make a wish with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, he knew exactly what he wanted to do!鈥�

In this made-in-B.C. adventure, Moss and his family were whisked off to Big White Ski Resort outside Kelowna, where Moss received his own ski equipment and realized his dream to get on a ski lift. The fun didn鈥檛 stop there, though, as he also experienced many of the other exciting winter activities offered by the resort, including the pool and the hot tub, tubing, dogsledding and ice climbing!

鈥淲e鈥檇 like to thank everybody who donated towards Moss鈥檚 wish as this was something our family would never have been able to do on our own. It was such a special experience for him!鈥�
