JUMPING TO GRANT FUTURE WISHES!

The Atomic Penguins will be jumping in in honor of wish kids like Lorelei.  

Lorelei’s childhood has not been typical. She has spent months in and out of hospitals for procedures such as dialysis and blood transfusions and even endured kidney and liver transplant surgeries. Although she has been resilient, her illness took a large toll on the family.

Those around her describe Lorelei, or LoLo, as an outgoing, energetic, and funny little girl with a love for mermaids. While being treated at Ann & Robert H. Lurie’s Children Hospital in Chicago a social worker referred her to Make-A-Wish and Lorelei was excited to learn her mermaid dreams might be possible. 

 The trip refueled her whimsical spirit that had been dampened by her illness. Her mother recalls, "The entire week was amazing and stress free for our entire family! Almost every day one of us wishes we were back in Hawaii. It’s the first time I can recall that we didn’t have a single care in the world.”
