How did it start? 

The make a wish foundation started with a man called Frank Shankwitz. He was a police officer. A little seven year old boy called Chris with Lukeimia, had a dream to be like frank when he grew up. He was granted the first ever wish. He wanted to be an officer. He was taken on a helicopter ride, and then got to ride a motorcycle with Frank. He got to have a driving test on a motorcycle.
