Welcome, Ronan! Joining us from @makeawishswfla, Ronan has been diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. That hasn’t kept him from all of his favorite activities, including baseball! Our players had a great time meeting him at BP, and Cabby even caught his first pitch!

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave heroes who proudly serve our country. Your courage inspires wish kids like Louis, whose passion for the army helped him battle the “germies” during the hardships of his illness. His wish was to have a fort “because EVERY soldier has a fort.”
