Meet Braely: A 2013 Mix 93-1 Kidd’s Kid

Imagine what your reaction would be if you received a call saying you were going to get to go to Walt Disney World with Kidd's Kids. Now take that reaction in your mind and multiply it a thousand times and add in the excitement of a 12-year-old little girl and you would see a very excited young lady by the name of Braely!

Braely is among the 50 or so kids who have been selected to go on a trip of a lifetime to Walt Disney World in Florida next month with Kidd's Kids. This trip is for children that have a chronic or terminal illness along with their immediate family where everything on the trip is paid for. Braely will get to experience Walt Disney World in a special way. She will get special access and admission to any park that she wants to visit all compliments of the listeners of Kidd Kraddcick in the Morning.

Braely is 12 years old and was nominated for the trip because she has a condition known as Coarctation of the Aorta and SubAortic Stenosis. Braely has had three major surgeries (two of them being open heart surgeries) and three cardiac caths during her young life with the possibly of another surgery when she returns from the trip.

After receiving the news, Braely was really excited about the trip until she found out she had to fly, but now she wants the window seat! After talking with her mom, Carley, I learned Braely downloaded a countdown clock to both her and her mom's phone counting down the days, hours and minutes that are left to go to Disney!

We asked Braely and her mom a few questions about the upcoming trip:
