Fifth-grader Ezra Chatteron was diagnosed with a life-threatening brain tumor. While in the hospital, he only wanted to play World of Warcraft. It's his escape. Last fall, his father's house burned down, and insurance money was used to purchase a computer and internet access. Father-and-son bonded over WoW. When charitable organization Make-A-Wish Foundation asked Ezra what wish he wanted, he knew exactly. Says Ezra:
I wished for a trip to Blizzard because I'd like to see if they could make a character and do some things for us.
Blizzard invited him and his father out to its Irvine, California headquarters, provided an office tour, let him create new weapons and characters, made a new quest and recorded his voice for a new character, Ahab Wheathoof, the Old Rancher. Ezra adds:
If Blizzard is listening, I'd like to say thank you for everything you've done for my character to make him so good. I want to thank them for making the quest of the lost dog and the Old Rancher and all the stuff they gave us.
They're listening Ezra, they're listening.
