MANTUA, Ohio — After several difficult years, a Northeast Ohio family is getting ready for a trip of a lifetime. Nine-year-old Benny Bailey is beating the odds given to him during a cancer diagnosis. Now Make-A-Wish is granting Benny’s wish to go to Disney World.

“He was in until July 1, when he was diagnosed with stage 4 hepatocellular carcinoma, which is liver cancer, that had metastasized to his lungs,” recalled Christin Bailey. Benny went through 6 rounds of chemotherapy, which made the normally vibrant 4th-grader lose energy and feel sicker. The Baileys said they’ve been overwhelmed with the outpouring of support they’ve received from family, friends, employers and the community. The Make-A-Wish gift was another testament to that generosity.
