John Cena Makes a Wish Come True
NILES - Alex Severinghaus, like many kids his age, has that little something that sits just behind his eyes. It’s an energy. The kind that suppresses itself when company is around. He is attentive and quiet and polite - and just under his breath, he sings the words to the music on the radio.
He’s a Guitar Hero fan, his favorite song to play, ‘One’ by Metallica, a band that’s older than him. He’s into sports, like basketball and baseball but this summer, he said, he just wants to spend some time being a kid.
Like many kids his age.
One has to be hesitant in describing Alex as “different.” He’s not really. As a child who has lived his life with Cystic Fibrosis - he is no different than the 30,000 other Americans, according to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, who struggle with the disease.
