American professional wrestler and actor John Cena has set a new world record in the Guinness Book of World Records.
According to the organization, John Cena broke the record for the most ‘Make-A-Wish Foundation’ wishes granted with six hundred and fifty.
They added that he “is the most requested Make-A-Wish celebrity, with no other star even coming close to granting as many wishes as he has in the foundation’s decades-long history.”
In 2015, John Cena was honoured for granting five hundred wishes for children and explained why he enjoyed working with the Make-A-Wish foundation. He said, “I just drop everything, if I can offer a fantastic experience, I’ll be first in line to do my part.”
With the new record, the ‘Make-A-Wish Foundation’ released a mission statement that reads, “Together, we create life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
Wishes are more than just a nice thing. And they are far more than gifts, or singular events in time. Just the act of making their wish come true can give them the courage to comply with their medical treatments.”
As regards why John Cena continues to grant kids’ wishes, he said, “I want them to have an experience that will stay with them forever. I don’t ever want the children or their families to be treated in a way where they feel as if they’re up against anything at all.”
Just so you know, John Cena has been granting wishes since 2002.
