When he was sixteen, Daniel Friend wanted to get his grandfather’s 1956 wagon running. He got it running, but then landed in the hospital. Afflicted with cystic fibrosis since birth, he was recovering in the hospital when a social worker mentioned the Make-A-Wish foundation. One thing led to another and soon his wish was granted.
