A Delaware girl was recently granted a dream from the Sunshine Foundation for a family trip to Florida to swim with dolphins.
Ember Rea lives with Morquio Syndrome and MPS (Mucopolysaccharidosis type IVA), a rare metabolic condition that primarily affects the skeleton.
“This was the best trip ever!” Ember said.
“We had an amazing time! Ember’s favorite part was swimming with the dolphins. We want to thank everyone again for making this an amazing experience,” said Ember’s mom.
