Are You Sure Unicorns Don't Exist?

According to 6 year-old ‘wish kid’ Addison, unicorns exist, and they live in the magical forests of Hawaii. Not only do they exist, but Addison also recently got the chance to live out her own fairy tale and meet one of these magical creatures.

Having battled leukemia for over two and a half years, Addison has fought long and hard against her disease for nearly half of her life. Her mother said that it has been extremely difficult to watch her daughter undergo so much chemotherapy. However, she also noted that Addison’s cheery attitude shined brightly in even the most challenging days: “Even when she was in the throes of the heaviest doses of chemo, when there were days when she couldn’t even walk because she was so weak and her blood counts were so low, she still had a smile on her face.”

Members of Diamond Head Theater teamed up with playwright Alvin Chan to create and produce a magical adventure on which Addison could embark. As part of this magical experience, ‘Princess Addison’ had to find the prettiest flow and prettiest fruit in the enchanted forest then sing “Somewhere Over The Rainbow.” Check out more about Addison's incredible story here. 

After completing these tasks, Addison found a pink unicorn.

When asked about her day in the enchanted forests of Hawaii, Addison replied, “I got to sit on the unicorn at the end, and it was happily ever after.”
