Caden Atkinson was granted a wish on Thursday that will send him and his family to Alaska.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Nebraska revealed Caden’s “celebrity wish” to him at Stone Hearth Estates in Gothenburg on Thursday afternoon.

In 2017, Cade was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy. According to mda.org, Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic disorder characterized by progressive muscle degeneration and weakness. It is one of nine types of muscular dystrophy.

Cade’s mom, Lynette, started a blog shortly after Cade was diagnosed and has told the story of their journey.

Cade is a fan of the popular TV show, “Alaska: The Last Frontier.” Not only is Make-A-Wish sending Cade and his family to Alaska, but they will also get to meet the cast of the show, which is shooting now for Discovery Channel.

Cade’s Wish Grantors, Amy Williamson and Kristi Gargan, were greeted with huge hugs when the broke the news to Cade.

Gargan said Cade made his wish in November but said that Celebrity Wishes are different because they never know when the wish will be granted.  She said they don’t know whether it will take three months or three years.

In addition to the blog, Lynette also made “Cade’s Journey” t-shirts and sold them.  Gargan said Lynette told Cade he could do anything with the proceeds that he wanted, and Cade chose to give the money, $1,000, to the Make-A-Wish foundation.  He presented the organization with a check.

The Post was at the reveal and captured the amazing moment.  Check out the Facebook Live video below, as well as a link to Lynette’s blog and some other useful information.
