San Diego Girl, 10, With Leukemia Gets Dream Backyard
By Megan Tevirzian, NBC7 San Diego
Diagnosed with leukemia two years ago, 10-year-old Tanika Scott Hahn enjoys dancing and staying active all around to keep her mind off nausea from her treatments.
On Tuesday before an audience of 15,000 people, the San Diego girl got her wish when she found out Make-A-Wish and a spine technology company planned to give her a dream backyard complete with a zipline, a stage and a foam pit.
Make-A-Wish organizers announced the plans at a convention for Isagenix, a dietary supplement marketing company, at the San Diego Convention Center on Tuesday morning.
The backyard transformation will take place in September.
Tanika is excited to use the stage for dancing as well as the other play areas. She also wanted something that would benefit her brother, too.
I’m “very excited. Very happy,” she gushed during the announcement. “Thank you.”
