Bermuda's a wish come true for three Irish brothers
Three brothers from Bangor, Ireland are being treated to a trip to Bermuda, courtesy of the Make-a-Wish Foundation, reports The Belfast Telegraph.
Michael and Ruairi Kennedy, who are eight-year-old twins, and their 11-year-old brother, Conor were presented with their dream trip at a special charity performance of 'Little Shop of Horrors' at the Bangor Operatic Society.
All three boys suffer from a serious congenital heart disease.
The Make-a-Wish Foundation grants wishes to children with life-threatening diseases.
All of the proceeds from the opening night of 'Little Shop of Horrors' were given to the charity.
Ruairi's wish was to visit Bermuda while his brother Michael wished for a widescreen TV, which he was granted, and Conor wished to meet the Republic of Ireland football team and that dream will also come true.
The children's mother, Marie Kennedy, also suffers from the disease, although she underwent a life-saving surgery two years ago, the Telegraph reported.
Conor had open-heart surgery when he was a baby and was recently fitted for a pacemaker and the twins are currently waiting on open heart surgeries followed by pacemaker surgeries.
But their troubles will be put aside during the vacation of a lifetime when they visit the Island and swim with the dolphins.
"Life has been pretty tough but these wishes given to the boys are unbelievable," Mrs. Kennedy was quoted in the Telegraph. "It's fantastic, a dream come true."
