Wednesday was a big day for 9-year-old Tara Sankner. The little girl has been battling Astrocytoma, an inoperable form of brain cancer, for most of her life. Today was not only her last day of chemotherapy, but she also had her wish granted by the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

Tara's wish is to go to Hawaii and swim with dolphins and thanks to United Healthcare working with Make-a-Wish, Tara is getting her wish.

On Wednesday, a group with United Healthcare and Make-a-Wish threw Tara a party with all of her favorite things to celebrate her big trip.
