wow, Landon has heart that's for sure. He is one of the reasons football/soccer is more than just a game.It's full of compassion, inspiration, and determination. It's the beautiful game.
It's overpowering to see all this support for my little brother - just to update everybody, he is doing great and is having his 10th birthday party today! - Now to the heartless people who have something negative to say about this video or say that Make-A-Wish is a scam, you are obviously very misinformed and have never seen a child fight a disease like cancer. I saw Brendan go through hell and fight for his life harder than many adults would. What Make-A-Wish does for these kids is beyond amazing!
Tell your little brother he's amazing and I wish him nothing but the best! My mom had cancer and passed away a few years ago, but me and her watched every USA World Cup game that summer similar like you guys did :). Best wishes !
what a guy, Landon Donovan! The kid deserves everything he gave him, though I can't help but feel envious :) he deserves it waay more than anyone else though! I hope he beats the cancer.
So good to see how amazing Beckham is even when he isn't the "center" of attention. Like, the kid wanted to see Landon. But Becks just cares so much. It seems at least. Legend. I hope Brendan is doing better for every day that goes by.
Im amazed the kids can go without breaking down, im just watching and im in tears if a situation like this ever happend to me i would have burst out crying 5 minutes in, if i could meet any of my sports heroes i would be absolutley amazed
Wow. I love these videos, but this one actually made me cry. I even watched it three times!! I think what touched me most was the fact that Donovan gave the little boy his game jersey, made it a point to hug him three times, and THANKS the sweet child for everything! I don't follow sports, but I'm certainly a fan of Donovan's now!
1. Each child is offered the chance to request their one true wish. In most cases, these wish requests are made to our wish granters away from the parents or guardians. Please know that a parent is often excited because the wish is the first time in a long time that their child has been empowered to make a decision and have fun. Too often, a child's days are occupied with doctor appointments and treatments.
i could watch this a milllion time and i dont get tired this is one of my favorites, i really dont like soccer and i didnt know who Landon Donovan was but since i watched this i am a fan
He's in remission, meaning the cancer has mostly disappeared. When it comes to cancer you can never be fully "cured," but when you go into remission it means the cancer is shrinking and there are less cells.
@lewis baker , there is a lot of footballers who do this in England,it's just not always recorded,this happens on a daily basis in England with the top teams,if you look up the man city page,Thera lets of it

I pray for Brendan to be healthy forever!! Lord, I pray for Brendan and his family to follow the Lord's path and to ask for the Lord's guidance!! LORD, PLEASE CURE BRENDAN!! ♥️ I pray for Brendan and his family to never live in fear under the Lord and I pray for Brendan and his family to feel God's love and to feel God's presence. I pray for Brendan to be able to live his life. ALL GLORY TO YOU LORD, PLEASE ANSWER OUR PRAYERS!!!! In Jesus name, we pray, AMEN!!
Make-A-Wish America my name is Krystal Harwood. I am not terminally ill but I have hydrocephalus and bouts of trigeminal neuralgia from time to time. My wish is to meet Zac Posen from that TV show Project Runway. I live in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Hope you can make this happen
yea but you have to think about it if a player could meet a guy who is not sick and nothing wrong with him or a sick kid who can die anytime the player would want to meet the sick kid more then the fine kid
2. Wishes are powerful. They have a wide scope of impact. Wish kids say the wish experience gave them newfound strength to fight their illness. Parents say the wish experience brought their stressed families back together. Health professionals say wishes help kids feel better and sometimes help them get better. I hope this assists in your understanding about our mission and why wishes are important.
Wow this one made me cry

To anyone who gives thumbs down to Make A Wish videos you should be ashamed of yourselves
Great kid and what a great job by Landon, Beckham and the team to make it that special.
Really great to see athletes have a big hearts and help make people smile.

Make-A-Wish America could you do update videos on the kids who had their wish granted
I would do this as a soccer player in the future.
Their relationship in this short time was awesome to watch!
