Kid with life-threatening condition has dream come true by visiting NoA HQ, meeting Reggie
Shea Sparling is a 10-year-old boy with polyarteritis nodosa, a life-threatening condition. Thanks to the charitable organization Dream Factory, Shea’s wish was recently realized.
Shea took a trip to Nintendo of America’s headquarters, and also met company president Reggie Fils-Aime. The two even played a round of Mario Kart together.
Shea’s mother spoke very positively about the experience, saying:
“We had so much fun. They had signs welcoming us and we went on a tour of the building. We met with Reggie and the kids even played a game of Mario Kart with him. He was so gracious and relaxed and spent time chatting with Shea, answering his questions.”
