FORT MYERS, Fla. — You can help make a child's dream come true!

All you've got to do is stretch, get your best athletic wear ready, and head out to FGCU on Saturday, October 5th for Walk for Wishes.

That's where "Walk for Wishes" will take place, and proceeds from the event help to fund local wishes for critically-ill children.

FOX 4 spoke with the Regional Director of Make-A-Wish Southern Chapter, Tammy Lynn.
She shares how the impact "wishes" have on local children.
