Ari's Wish for an adrenaline filled snow adventure ❄️

Ari is one in a million, literally.

The 9-year-old daredevil from Perth has a rare disease affecting his muscles and joints, called congenital muscular dystrophy. Of the several million people living in Western Australia, there are just two who have this condition. One of them is Ari.

But that isn’t the only way he’s truly extraordinary! Even though Ari is unable to walk, it doesn’t stop him pushing his limits.

“He has no fear,” says Ari’s mum Brita. “He races around in his wheelchair, along outdoor trails, up and down ramps in skate parks, pulling skids. We just had to change his wheelchair tires – they were worn out from all the skidding.”

Naturally, Ari’s wish involved lots of thrills and spills. He set his heart on a daredevil adventure in the snow. And when Make-A-Wish shared the news that his wish was going to happen, Brita said it was like “winning the lotto.”
