Four-year-old Makenzie is battling acute lymphoid leukemia (ALL), a fast-growing cancer of a type of white blood cells called lymphocytes, that crowds out bone marrow. This prevents the body from making the normal red blood cells, white blood cells, and platelets that your body needs. Despite this being the most common type of leukemia in children, the cause of ALL remains unknown.
When Makenzie learned that she would be able to receive a wish experience from Make-A-Wish Georgia, she knew right away what she wanted. Her sense of adventure and love for excitement led Makenzie to wish to be a racecar driver! Skip Barber Racing School, one of the largest racing schools in the world, and Zaxby’s Restaurant partnered with Make-A-Wish tohelp bring her wish to life.
