The story of a 7-year-old boy from South Dakota who has leukemia is an emotional enough story, but through ESPN and the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Erickson was able to not only have his wish granted, meeting his favorite football player Larry Fitzgerald, but also to have it captured as part of the ESPN My Wish series.
