WARE, MA — Rob Gronkowski used New Year’s Eve to give a Central Mass teen a super surprise. With the help of Make a Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island, the former Patriots tight end will send a Ware 17-year-old and his family to the Super Bowl in Miami.

Hard times for Aiden Clark and his family began with seizures when he was six. But his epilepsy got worse and by the time he was a teenager, almost every day brought a debilitating seizure. So bad, he couldn’t go to school.

The Clark family returned to their Ware home Wednesday night with Aiden still clutching the helmet and football Gronk signed for him.
