Ailing Jupiter girl to get wish to meet rocker, outdoorsman Ted Nugent

JUPITER — A Palm Beach County girl is getting a rock star send off from Fort Lauderdale airport today as the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Southern Florida sends her to meet rock star and outdoorsman Ted Nugent.

Brianna Curry, 6, of Jupiter is battling a brain tumor and became of fan of Nugent by watching his reality show "Spirit of the Wild" on the Outdoor Channel. Make-A-Wish Foundation officials say Brianna even enjoys the rocker's music.

During her wish vacation, Brianna, her parents and 4-year-old brother will spend four days in Texas during which she'll meet Nugent on the set of his program at the Spirit Wild Ranch in China Spring, TX.

However, before the flight from the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport this afternoon, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, American Airlines, the Broward County Aviation Department and the Broward Sheriff's Office have some special plans for Brianna.

Brianna and her family will arrive for their flight in a chauffeur-driven limousine and then be escorted by BSO patrol cars with lights flashing and sirens blaring.

Once inside the terminal, Scribbles the clown and BSO deputies on lighted scooters will take Brianna and her family to their gate to enjoy cake and balloons before their flight.

Additionally, BSO's Airport Rescue Fire Fighting team will celebrate the flight's departure with a water cannon salute.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. It is the largest wish-granting charity in the world with 67 chapters in the U.S. and its territories.

Thats cool... and I'm sure the Nuge will show her and her family a great time. But I thought the make a wish foundation didnt honor kids wishes if they involved hunting/fishing related topics. Thats why the catch a dream foundation was started. If I'm wrong, somebody correct me.

I thought the same thing, I stopped donating to them because of it.

Make A Wish would not honor hunting wishes. This is not a "hunting" wish, this was a wish to hang out with a certain person. And by the way, they have been fishing (and grilling their catch) and they will be hunting if she wants....

Hope they show it on future shows, good story!

I wonder how many kids have asked to spend a week with Ingred Newkirck that must really rock learning how to go out hateing people and worshiping animals!

Great that her wish is being granted by make a wish. If you want to donate to kids who are sick look at Catch A Dream. This is a group of outdoors men and women who grant kids thier wish to hunt, fish and other outdoor activities. We have had several kids from NJ granted hunts by this great group.


Here is their link, http://catchadream.org

Great group[up][up][up]
