A wish in perfect harmony

Music is a joyful tradition in 11-year-old Cam's family.  He plays an alto sax passed down from his father and first learned to strum a guitar with his cousins.

When Cam was diagnosed with tumors on his brain and spinal cord, he turned to his music for strength - and wished for a guitar of his very own.  With the partnership of the Guitar Center in North Attleboro, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Massachusetts located Cam's dream guitar:  a blue Matteo Paul Reed Smith custom electric guitar.  Cam smiled broadly when he first set eyes on his gift at a special party with his family and friends.

Within seconds, Cam had the guitar in his hands.  As he played a song for the crowd, his illness seemed a world away.  He played that day and has not stopped.  Through the power of a wish, a home is now filled with the sweet sounds of a boy on his guitar, strumming with joy.
