These kids have gone through rounds of chemotherapy or surgeries and have had their childhoods ruined because of terrible diseases.

Make-A-Wish works with celebrities, sports athletes, theme parks, and many other organizations to let these kids enjoy their dreams.

The foundation has granted thousands of wishes over its 44-year history.

It's not often you see these wishes come to Montana.

One kid had one dream, and Montana was the perfect place to make it happen.

Make-A-Wish Fly Fishing Dream

We hope he has memories of a lifetime.

A Portland, Maine teen named Kaysen Pitula went through 30 rounds of chemotherapy to treat his Hodgin's lymphoma and recently became cancer-free in 2024.

The one thing that made him feel normal was fishing.

His lifelong dream was to fly fish in Montana, and the Make-A-Wish foundation made that happen.

Kaysen Pitula flew out to Yellowstone with his family, and a guide took him to the best fly fishing spots.

Now, he has memories that will last a lifetime.

We hope Kaysen stays in remission for the rest of his life, and we will probably see him soon fishing the rivers in Montana.
