#Regram from @thedailyst at @DragonCon in Atlanta, Georgia --- Dawn Garrigus of Statesboro, Ga., is an 11-year-old with mitochondrial disease, a progressive chronic illness that causes physical, mental and developmental disabilities. She is also a devoted Star Trek fan. Through the Make-A-Wish founda...tion, Dawn requested to attend Dragon Con, a sci-fi and fantasy convention in Georgia, where the popular series would make an appearance. Word got around to Patrick Stewart, who played Captain Picard in Star Trek, that a Make-A-Wish child (and huge Star Trek lover) would be attending, and the two set up a time to meet. "I was shy at first, not sure what to say or talk about, but he kept talking to me. I felt like I was on the Enterprise talking to the captain. And suddenly, I was OK," Dawn told The Huffington Post in an email. Her parents, Danny and Kristy Garrigus, wrote in an email that it was “the happiest [they] had seen her in quite some time.” (Photo/Story via HuffPo) #dailysaint#startrek#trekkie#patrickstewart#dragoncon#comiccon#comic#superhero#film#love#kindness#randomactsofkindness#inspiration#health#goodvibes#bethechange#seethegood
