Grant's Wish

Grant Toomey was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of three.Cystic fibrosis affects breathing and thus, limits activity.Grant, 19, had a dream of going elk hunting, but because of this disease, was unable to go in high altitudes.

Eagle Ridge Outfitters of Linn, Missouri provided a solution—elk hunting in Missouri.Johnnie Fowler, Grant’s guide planned a spot and stalk hunt.After providing Grant with a hat and shirt, it was time to target practice.Once the hunt began, Johnnie and Grant spotted a bull from the four-wheeler.It wasn’t long before Grant had shot his bull.

When Grant was asked what he was going to do now, he said, “Go tell Mom where we’re hanging it.”

Mark, Grant’s Dad, says having a child with this type of disease has put everything in perspective—having a house and nice cars are not important.Mark and Grant were both very touched that people would take time out of their schedule for people they don’t even know.
