NASCAR Sprint Cup driver Kasey Kahne joins stars of other sports as participants in the annual ESPN Sports Center “My Wish” series. The summer series – which chronicles sports-themed wishes by Make-A-Wish for children with life-threatening medical conditions — will return Saturday, August 17, during the 11 p.m. ET edition of Sports Center. Emmy Award-winning reporter Chris Connelly, who has hosted the series since its inception in 2006, will reprise his role.
Each episode will feature the story behind the wish, interviews with the children and their families, behind-the-scenes look at the wish fulfilled, and interaction between each child and their favorite athlete/team. In addition, ESPN.com will have articles surrounding each child’s experience posted on the same day as the corresponding wish. Fans can join the conversation using the hashtag #MyWish.
Kahne grants a wish on Sunday, Aug. 20, on the 6 p.m. edition of Sports Center. Rylee Durham, a 12-year-old who suffers from Noonan’s syndrome, gets to meet her favorite driver at the famous Daytona International Speedway.
