Make-A-Wish grants wish for Jacksonville teen who survived heart transplant

A Jacksonville teen will get to attend one of his favorite events after receiving a life-saving heart transplant a year ago.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation surprised Marvin Williams,15, with tickets to Wrestlemania  at Dave & Busters on Sunday afternoon.

In November 2015, the first donor for Marvin fell through. But three months later, his family got another call to perform the transplant at UF Health in Gainesville.

The surgery was successful and Marvin's family was grateful for the gift.

"A lot of kids don't get this opportunity and a lot of people don't get this second chance at life," said Marvin's sister and guardian Jessica Crawford.

Williams will get to bring his family with him when he heads to Wrestlemania at Camping World Stadium in Orlando next month.
