It has been a year and another MoT has come and gone but the work and contributions of MoT 2006 have just been realized. As predicted we covered the cost of three wishes-

One wish was granted to Pedro who has acute lymphoblastic leukemia. He is constantly in and out of the hospital and wanted a laptop with all the trimmings which is what he got. This way he can enjoy doing some of the same things he does at home while in the hospital - like movies, games, art and keeping in touch with his friends.

Another wish was granted for Alex, a 10 year old with cystic fibrosis. He wanted to go on a big cruise ship like the Titanic (without the iceberg) so Make-a-Wish arranged a week long cruise on Royal Carribean's biggest ship where he and his family were treated like VIPs meeting captain and crew as well as the cast of the shows. He even swam with the dophins in Cozumel.

And finally there was Miguel's wish. He has aplastic anemia and an acute desire to shop. He was taken by limo to Cambridgeside Galleria and shopped 'til he dropped. A portable DVD player to go to the doctor's with him, sneakers, winter gear, stacks of toys that included a video spy camera remote control car.

These wishes were granted because of the efforts and generous hearts of all that attended MINIs on Top and the family and friends we all hit up to buy raffle tickets, play trivia games, buy auto badges etc.

Thanks to all and a tip of my many MINI hats to you - Miguel, Alex and Pedro
