John Cena Has Granted Over 600 Make-A-Wish Wishes, More Than Any Other Celebrity

Just recently, he donated half a million dollars to the first responders who are fighting the raging wildfires in California, saying, "Out of respect to the people who I truly believe are heroes, my response will be to immediately donate half a million dollars to this cause,” in a Twitter video.

If you don't know, Make-A-Wish is a charity organization that grants the wishes of kids who are incredibly or terminally ill, often involving trips to exciting places or meeting the children's idols.

That's not only incredibly impressive on its own, but also that's more wishes than any other celebrity has granted.

When talking about his first experience with Make-A-Wish, Cena said, "I said, ‘If you ever need me for this ever, I don't care what I'm doing, I will drop what I'm doing and be involved because I think that's the coolest thing."

"We've all experienced that joy of giving a gift for the holidays where you just nail it — that's the same gift I get in giving back to people's lives, in being able to give them wonderful emotional moments."

"That’s extra, extra special. You can learn from any and every situation. I learned from every single child I meet and their families as well. It's incredibly rewarding."

"I don’t know if 'Hang out with John Cena' would be at the top of my list," he said, "but fact that that is on someone's list is the coolest thing."

That attitude may be why Cena isn't only the celebrity with the most wishes granted, he's the celebrity with the most requests as well — no other celebrity has even passed 300, according to Today.

“It's a spectacular thing… When you give them happiness, they get an escape. You don't know the power of hope. Hope can equate to time and that's absolutely priceless," he said.
