john cenaJohn Cena appeared as the host of hour one of NBC’s “Today” show this morning, and during his appearance he granted a milestone 500th wish through the Make-a-Wish foundation.

Cena met Rocco Lanzer, an 8 year old who was diagnosed with Leukemia back in January of this year.

Below is video footage of Cena meeting Lanzer, and Cena had the following to say:

“A lot of times when people donate time or resources, there’s a little speculation about where it goes. I’m at the finish line. I get to see the families; I get to see the joy and the hope that we bring. I’ll continue to be involved with Make-A-Wish as long as they’ll have me.”
