Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes participating in ESPN’s granting…..
Kansas City Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes is set to deliver the ultimate feel-good story on ESPN’s returning “My Wish” series this week.
Mahomes will appear in one of four features on ESPN, granting wishes to several Make-A-Wish children. ESPN, the Chiefs and Mahomes granted a wish to 12-year-old Myka Eilers of Yorba Linda, California. Eilers had two open-heart surgeries to correct the narrowing of her pulmonary artery and valve before she was even a year old. She’s faced a life-threatening illness with toughness and fearlessness.
Now, Eilers is the quarterback for her flag football team and idolizes the Chiefs’ signal-caller. During the feature, she visits Kansas City to meet her idol at Arrowhead Stadium. She has a chance to be coached by Mahomes on the field and in the film room. There is also a cameo appearance by Chiefs TE Travis Kelce, who catches a pass over Mahomes that was thrown by Eilers at the team practice facility.
