Atlanta Braves and Make-A-Wish grant wish for young leukemia survivor

ATLANTA, Ga. (CBS46) - The Atlanta Braves and Make-A-Wish Foundation teamed up on Monday to make a young Braves fan’s wish come true.

Atlanta native Jake Kowalzyk is a huge fan. When he was 10, he found out that he had leukemia. That’s when the fight for his life started.

During some of his darkest days, watching the Braves got his mind off cancer.

It took a few years but the cancer is now gone, leaving him with one wish instead of two. That wish came true on Monday.

Kowalzyk arrived at Truist Park in a limo and got to wear a World Series ring.
