Cam Newton and Make-A-Wish made an 11-year-old kid’s dream come true

Despite all the criticism that Panthers quarterback Cam Newton gets for dabbing on the field, smiling, and just having fun overall, that never detracts him from continually being positive away from the bright lights of an NFL arena.

During Thanksgiving, for example, Newton hosted 800 underprivileged kids for a huge dinner. And this time, Newton was able to grant a wish for 11-year old Noah, who was born with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome. He visits hospitals on a regular basis, which his mother says brings him down at times.

But through Make-A-Wish, little Noah got the chance of a lifetime to travel to Charlotte. He and a group of friends played on the Bank of America Stadium field. And when they went bowling, Cam Newton himself showed up. Noah was definitely nervous meeting his hero, but that went away quickly as Cam chanted Noah’s name while the 11-year old bowled.

This is a moment that Noah will never forget.
