Top celeb Make-A-Wish granter marks 300

UNIONDALE, NY — WWE superstar John Cena is the most popular celebrity granter in Make-A-Wish history, this week granting his 300th wish.

The wheelchair user Jonny Littman, 7, wished to meet his hero, Cena, and the WWE accommodated that wish Monday night. But Jonny got a two-part-wish.

On Wednesday morning, Jonny was being interviewed on “Good Morning America,” when Sam Champion asked him about his green T-shirt. After Jonny told him it was Cena, Champion asked whether anyone knew the WWE superstar.

Cena walked out to Jonny’s surprise and presented him with another gift. This time it was tickets for him and his family to attend the landmark 1,000th episode of the WWE show “Raw.”

The Make-A-Wish Foundation grants a wish every 38 minutes in the United States. It was the 300th wish granted by Cena, making him the most popular celebrity granter in Make-A-Wish history.
