Generations of truckers take part in 36th annual Make-A-Wish Mother's Day convoy

  • On Saturday, 426 trucks formed the 36th annual Make-A-Wish Mother's Day convoy in Penn Township to support children with critical illnesses.
  • This event began in 1990 when Linda Pauling co-founded Make-A-Wish after her son Christopher, diagnosed with leukemia, received a wish to be a police officer.

  • The ongoing convoy exemplifies Make-A-Wish's commitment to granting life-changing wishes and engaging communities in supporting children facing severe health challenges.
