Charlotte Make-A-Wish kid gets to reenact Home Alone in NYC 

In life, sometimes we have setbacks.
For one Charlotte family, the word “cancer” changed their lives forever. WCNC Charlotte is happy to report Cameron Gray is doing well now. And thanks to Make-A-Wish of Central & Western North Carolina, he was able to make a once-in-a-lifetime trip, replicating his favorite movie.
"Cameron was a totally healthy kid," Cameron's mom remembered.
Cameron's parents, Robert and Clary Gray, said they received the shock of a lifetime when their son turned seven.
"He started getting very bad headaches that we couldn't find the cause of," Robert said. "And we eventually found that he had a brain tumor."
While Cameron had the tumor removed successfully in Charlotte, the tumor was metastatic.
"Luckily, Cameron fit into a trial at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis," Robert explained.
Cameron had to receive two months of radiation and seven months of chemotherapy before returning home. And that's where Make-A-Wish stepped in, just in time for Cameron's one-year anniversary of returning home.
"I picked New York and to do what they did in Home Alone 2," Cameron said. "Because it's my favorite movie."
