Philadelphia Eagles Players Take 4 Boys with Terminal Illnesses on Heartwarming Shopping Trip

PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- It was a dream come true for four teenagers battling critical illnesses, who went on a VIP shopping spree with their favorite Philadelphia Eagles player.

"It's definitely one of the best days of my life," said 18-year-old Christopher Brayerton of Little Egg Harbor, who spent the past year fighting a rare pediatric cancer.

Brayerton and three other boys were treated to an unforgettable experience thanks to Make-A-Wish, the Eagles, and Fanatics. The event took place at Mitchell & Ness in Center City, where the teens picked out sportswear with a $200 gift card and received a Kobe Bryant jersey.

"I've only cried about three times since I've been here because I'm so happy for him after what he went through the past year," said Brayerton's mother, Devin Fennimore. "To be able to experience this is amazing."

Hunter, 13, of Gallup, New Mexico, called the day a milestone in his recovery.

"It's been an honor. It's been like a milestone for me being back from cancer, getting to do all this stuff," he said.

The teens also got to meet Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert.

"Amazing because I get to look at everything, and I get to meet the Eagles," said 12-year-old Liam Martin of Taylor, Pa.

"I love it," added his father, Chris Martin. "Just thankful. Just happy he's having a good time."

Goedert chatted with the boys about everything from the Tush Push to the Super Bowl and said the experience meant a lot to him.

"Anytime you get an opportunity like this, it's easy to say yes to," Goedert said. "Just to be able to put a smile on these kids' faces really means everything to me."

Michelle Ruel, Make-A-Wish's marketing and communications director, said the boys will meet the team and visit Lincoln Financial Field on Friday, then attend the Eagles-Broncos game on Sunday.

"I've always dreamed of going to a game - let alone an Eagles game," said Hunter.

"I just want them to enjoy the weekend," said Goedert. "They've been through so much, and they're so well-deserving of an awesome weekend they're being given."
