ORLANDO, Fla. — A teen from Central Florida named Tripp is preparing for a sport fishing adventure in Mexico, made possible by the Make-A-Wish Foundation and local business owners.
Tripp, who is dealing with a serious respiratory illness that has led to multiple hospital stays, will go to Cabo with his family for a special fishing trip.
Stan and Naomi Loomis, the co-founders of Olympia and Wesley Pharmaceuticals, sponsored Tripp’s fishing trip.
They support Make-A-Wish to honor their late son, who loved Mexico.
Tripp’s trip to Mexico was marked by a special kickoff celebration, during which he received fishing-themed gifts.
