Avery's love of adventure brought her wish to the Galapagos Islands. Diagnosed with a life-threatening heart condition, Avery finds strength in nature and music. She wished to experience nature in one of the world's foremost destinations for wildlife viewing, the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador. Avery enjoyed every minute, taking photos and video to remember the extraordinary trip, then set it to her music that she wrote and performed to help her remember the experience forever.

Tens of thousands of volunteers, donors and supporters advance the Make-A-Wish® vision to grant the wish of every child diagnosed with a critical illness. In the United States and its territories, on average, a wish is granted every 34 minutes. We believe a wish experience can be a game-changer. This one belief guides us and inspires us to grant wishes that change the lives of the kids we serve. LEARN MORE about how you can help grant wishes at http://wish.org FOLLOW US!
