We’re not sure which is cooler.
Make-A-Wish for all their great work? John Deere for making it happen? Or a 12-year-old wanting to visit the place where the big green ag machines are built?
Westyn Wilson, 12, of Pine, Arizona wanted to visit a John Deere manufacturing facility as part of his Make-A-Wish opportunity—and for all intents and purposes, it was a wonderful day.
In 2019, Wilson was diagnosed with Wilms tumor, a form of childhood cancer that starts in the kidney. He is currently in remission after undergoing chemotherapy treatments.
Touring the John Deere facility with his younger brother and parents, he said that he wants to one day own a John Deere 730 tractor like what his grandfather has.
We wish Westyn Wilson and his family all the best. Beat cancer!
