MORGANTOWN, W.Va. - Catch the first glance of WVU’s newest, hot-shot from Middlebourne, West Virginia. Five-year-old Nicholas, diagnosed with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, has wished to be a Mountaineer basketball player. On February 24, he will be joining this talented team to tear up the court against the Texas Longhorns at 7 p.m.
Nicholas’ official duties as a Mountaineer begin at 1 p.m., with a tour of his new digs, followed by a shoot-around with his new teammates and a press conference at 3 p.m., to reveal some exciting news. Press are invited to join the festivities beginning at 1 p.m.
The most common misconception about Make-A-Wish is that we only provide wishes for dying children. To the contrary, we fulfill wishes for children living with life-threatening medical conditions and believe that a wish experience fills our families with hope, strength and joy.

Currently, the local chapter is one of the most active in the country, having fulfilled more than 16,000 wishes.
