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

6 views

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."

DOLPHINS IN CHAOS! PANTHERS O-LINE CHALLENGES MIA'S SHOCKING DEFENSE.
CHARLOTTE, NC – The matchup between the Miami Dolphins (1-3) visiting the Carolina Panthers (1-3) this Sunday is a highly dramatic encounter between two teams plagued by issues. This isn't a fight for a playoff spot; it's a desperate race to see which team can navigate the storm of injuries and internal instability to hold onto a sliver of hope. Both sides are hungry for a win to avoid being completely buried in Week 5. Don’t just watch the game — live it! Get your gear featuring the logo of your favorite team. Limited stock — don’t miss out! 👉 [SHOP NOW] The situation of injuries and poor form has led to a candid assessment: “This is a showdown of two teams trying to fail. The team that commits fewer mistakes will have the ‘honor’ of winning.” The Dolphins' offensive crisis following the loss of star Receiver Tyreek Hill has created a giant void that even talents like Jaylen Waddle and De'Von Achane will struggle to fill. Miami's defense, already inconsistent, now faces dual pressure as the offense falters. Their defense stands a chance of being thoroughly exploited by the Panthers' running scheme, despite Carolina’s decimated O-Line. For the home team Panthers, injuries are devastating the system. The loss of three Offensive Linemen to long-term injured reserve makes the offensive unit extremely fragile. The focus of this game will be the ground battle: can Dolphins Running Back De'Von Achane capitalize against the Panthers' run defense—one of the most criticized units this year. The game promises to be a physical, low-scoring running battle. Pressure is mounting on both coaching staffs. A loss could ignite the first major changes of the season. Game and Viewing Information: The critical matchup takes place at 1:00 PM ET (Sunday, October 5, 2025) at Bank of America Stadium. The game will be broadcast live on FOX and streamed via the FOX Sports App and NFL+.
