An 18-year-old from Illinois recently had a wish granted in Key Largo. The teen, Brent Meizelis, has Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a severe genetic disorder that causes muscle weakness. For a day, he was able to take a break from medical appointments and get an up-close look at dolphins.

This experience was made possible for Meizelis, who faces a life-threatening illness. Further details about Meizelis' experience are available from WSVN 7 News, which reported on the event.
