Tijan's Wish

Tijan is a 17 year old from Pembroke who suffers from Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Tijan’s illness does not stop him from being an avid outdoorsman. He truly enjoys camping, the outdoors and mainly fishing.

His wish was a fly-in fishing trip with his father, grandfather and uncle.

Thanks to the Make-A-Wish® Foundation and local supporters, Tijan’s wish came true in July of 2009. One of Tijan’s highlights was the fact that he caught the biggest fish, a 22-inch pickerel!
