Chase's eyes were wide with surprise and joy at the crowd gathered to celebrate the youngster, who has battled leukemia and has been in remission for more than two years. There were more surprises to come, when Chase learned that he and his family were going to fly to Florida the end of the month.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation paid for the pizza party for Chase, arranged the ride on the fire truck and also planned a week of activities for the boy and his family in Orlando with all expenses paid by the organization.
