Influenced by the many hours spent in hospital undergoing treatment for neuroblastoma, as well as the inspirational doctors and nurses who looked after her, Audrina told the Make-A-Wish UK team that she wants to be an immunologist when she’s older.
“I want to be a scientist; I want to research into diseases like cancer and find cures! Wishing to go to the institute and learning the science behind human anatomy is something you can’t organise yourself, so I thought, ‘I have to use this opportunity to visit the Francis Crick Institute!’”
Her wish ‘to be a Scientist’, included looking at her favourite cells, listening to a talk about mitosis, and using an electron microscope.
“Thinking about my wish will bring back amazing memories of all the cool things that we did. It makes me feel so happy and lucky. Those memories will stick with me for a lifetime,” said Audrina. “A massive thank you to everyone who made my wish happen – I had the best time of my life! It was amazing. I was so lucky.”
