Rosemount Teen's Disney Dream Comes True

A 16-year-old Rosemount boy saw his wish to travel to Walt Disney World come true this past May.

According to Sun ThisWeek, Samuel Zender, an Eastview High School student, was granted his special wish by by UnitedHealthcare and Make-A-Wish. Zender lives with a form of cerebral palsy called holoprosencephaly.

“It was amazing, everything they did for us,” John Zender, Sam's father, told Sun ThisWeek. “One of his favorite things to do is go bowling. When they revealed it to him, we were at the bowling alley and they brought in a big wooden box with an Alvin and the Chipmunks cake.”

Zender and his family received passes for three days at Walt Disney World, two days at Orlando Studios and a day at Sea World, while Give Kids the World Foundation worked with Make-A-Wish to provide a free six-night stay in a 70-acre “storybook” resort, the paper reported.
