Boy's wish comes true at Lightning speed

Lightning McQueen flashed into Hong Kong Disneyland Resort to make a wish come true for an eight-year-old Heison, who has been a McQueen fan for World Wish Day today.

The highlight was a special parade where Heison, who has acute lymphoid leukemia, marched alongside Lightning McQueen.

Heison was surprised with a celebratory processional at the park, where he took center stage alongside Lightning McQueen, racing driver Jonathan Hui Kin-tak and dancers.

He said: "This experience has given me even more courage to pursue my passion for racing and to never give up on my dreams."

His parents were overjoyed, saying, "This memorable experience means so much to our family. Seeing our son's face light up with joy and excitement is something we will treasure forever."

"I want to tell you that no wish is too big," said Disneyland's managing director Michael Moriarty.

"Every wish has infinite power and can help children with critical illnesses regain the happiness they deserve," said board director Karlson Wong.
