In February of last year i was granted a Make-A-Wish. Make-A-Wish is an organization that has enriched the lives of children with life-threatening medical conditions through its wish-granting work. The Foundation's mission reflects the life-changing impact that a Make-A-Wish® experience has on children, families, referral sources, donors, sponsors and entire communities.
I was born with 2 bad kidneys and had to have a transplant at age 3. I was lucky enough to have had my mom give me one of her kidneys. I am now 19 years old. Living life to the fullest. I love to snowboard, wakeboard, bmx, film, and hang out with my friends.
In June of 2011 I was given the opportunity to have a Make-A-Wish. My first wish was to go to Jackson Hole Ski Resort and snowboard with pro snowboarder, Travis Rice. I was also given the pleasure in bringing one of my best friends who has been by my side when I'm sick, and helped me through the years of being ill. So I brought my good friend D.J. (The one with the white pov helmet) This took about 8 months to finally happen. I found out in the beginning of February 2012 that my wish would be coming true. Not only that but it would be happening in only 2 weeks. So I started to pack up and get ready for the big trip. When we got to Jackson Hole we got to ride for the day. Then met Travis and rode again. He graciously extend our trip so he could surprise us and take us Heli skiing. Thanks to the help High Mountian Heli! He gave us Contour cams so we could film the whole thing. SO in the end, this is the ONLY PART of the day Heli Snowboarding. I had much more film. I know I'm not the best editor or snowboarder but it was a great time! THANK YOU TRAVIS RICE!! You are the nicest, most down to earth real person I have had the pleasure of meeting.
You have successfully lived my dream. Sweet video man.
Travis, you are an inspiration to us all. You are the sort of person that we should be looking up to and you make me proud to be a boarder too!
Travis Rice,
You are a gentleman, a scholar, and a flipping badass snowboarder!!!
Travis Rice best snowboarder ever!!! You are very lucky man, you shred with T. Rice!!! Great video!!! My respect!!!
watch this video almost annually and it brings a tear to my eye everytime.
Same here
WoW ale Zajebiście!!! jeszcze z Travisem sobie posmigać w takim miejscu marzenie!!!
Props to Travis Rice for making this persons wish come true. Sick riding too.
After reading the intro, this is the most inspiring snowboarding film I have ever seen.
Reading stories like this makes me have the utmost respect for Rice. For a rockstar millionaire he seems like a really grounded individual.
Rice is the man, happy for you dude you lived mine and most boarders dreams
just awesome... I m happy for you to have this chance :) lucky one ^^
Awesome! I watched the whole vid just thinking "this is the kind of snowboarding I want to do". It wasn't until the end I read about your awesome wish come true. So stoked for you! Awesome ride. Cool peeps. Perfect weather. Just total joy. Thanks for sharing!
Sooooo cool! I met Travis a few days ago (stayed at the same lodge), but didn't have a chance to ride with him. He is such a genuinely good person. Friendly, talkative, and greeted me every time I saw him on a first name basis.. Stay healthy and always do things that you love! Cheers!
Wow! Usually a snowboarding video makes me smile on its own, but knowing what you got to do and the tough battle you have been through made me smile so much more watching this video! What a charity! Good work make a wish foundation!!!
Awesome video, keeping me going until I can board again, and awesome song choice, going to shred down some mountains to this song now
Now that is just awesome, Travis Rice is the man!
Travis Rice is awesome.You deserved this day!
I can't wait to go to Patagonia to surf this winter.
Greetings from Argentina!!! Nice video..
I'm drooling from all that POWWDAAHHH!!! :O'."
After i read the description, I couldn't stop smiling while watching you guys ride. I love hearing stories like this. People like Travis and the people with the Make-A-Wish organization give me hope in humanity. Keep shredding bud, glad you made it through all the hard times. You're a strong person. Have a good one :)

Congrats on the kidney and getting to ride with Travis. Seriously I sat in my seat before I knew what was going on jealousy took over me haha.
This is amazing!
Great story, travis is my favorite pro snowboarder too and I definately see how much he is a down to earth great guy. It seems fame can make some pros cocky and full of themselves, but not Travis Rice. He is a really good person, and it is so awesome that you got the oppertunity to have a day slashing pow with him. Great video, the editing was actualy really awesome!
woah man, sick video. must have been so rad to ride with travis. the dude is slays it
