When you hear the name John Cena, you probably think of his amazing wrestling skills or his blockbuster movies. But did you know that he’s been doing something even more incredible since 2004? Cena has been a wish-granter for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, making dreams come true for seriously ill kids. And guess what? He holds the record for granting the most wishes in the 42-year history of the foundation. That’s right, Cena has made over 650 children’s wishes come true!
According to KTLA, Cena said, “I just drop everything. If I can offer a fantastic experience, I’ll be first in line to do my part.” Cena doesn’t just talk the talk, he walks the walk. The families and kids love Cena just as much as he loves helping them. In fact, Make-A-Wish says he’s the most requested celebrity. That’s a whole lot of love going both ways!
Cena’s impact doesn’t end once the wish is granted. Families often reach out to him, sharing how much it meant for their kids to spend time with him, sometimes during their last days. Cena admits that these messages can be difficult to read, but they are also very special to him.
One of Cena’s latest visits was to a 19-year-old fan with Down syndrome. This young man credited Cena with giving him the courage to escape Ukraine during the Russian invasion. They met in the Netherlands, and it was a dream come true for the entire family. Cena has made it clear that his charity work is his top priority. He declared, “If you ever need me for this ever, I don’t care what I’m doing, I will drop what I’m doing and be involved.”
John Cena isn’t just a superstar in the wrestling ring; he’s a superstar in the hearts of hundreds of kids and their families. His dedication to making wishes come true brings joy and comfort to many. And in return, Cena receives the gift of joy and connection. It truly is a win-win situation where everyone’s hearts are a little fuller.
