John Cena Surpasses Record 650 Wishes For Make-A-Wish Foundation

As a pro wrestler and actor, John Cena has granted more than 650 wishes, more than double as many as the next celebrity on the list. This marks another milestone for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. WWE has been commemorating this month as "Cena Month," and a recent tweet celebrates the remarkable record-setting feat of the legendary pro wrestler.

With the Make-A-Wish Foundation, John Cena has accomplished a significant milestone by granting 650 wishes, more than any other celebrity in the organization's history.

The 45-year-old WWE and Hollywood superstar has been using his fame to change the world for years; his first wish was granted in 2004 and his most recent one was this year.

A wish to meet a favorite public figure can be submitted by children with a critical disease between the ages of two and a half and 18 through the foundation.

As part of the company's social media celebration of "Cena Month," the triumphant milestone was revealed on WWE's official Twitter account on Monday, June 19.

The tweet displayed a photo of the wrestling legend hugging a fan, with the caption: "@JohnCena has granted more wishes via @MakeAWish than any other celebrity in history. #CenaMonth," while the picture featured the text "650+ wishes granted".

Despite having granted more than 200 wishes each, Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., and fellow WWE superstar Hulk Hogan have all never surpassed the 300-wish milestone.

Fans praised Cena for his commitment to assisting the American non-profit organization for years after he announced the accomplishment on social media.

Fellow WWE Superstar John Layfield wrote: "Few people in history have meant as much to @wwe as @JohnCena - the best representative one could ask for, and a terrific human being. So proud of John and all he continues to do. This is amazing."

Another fan shared: "Cena's an absolute hero for this. He deserves the world for dedicating so much time to others. Bravo @JohnCena."

A third poked fun at his "You can't see me" slogan: "He did it all with no one being able to see him. @JohnCena are you God?"

The reason I love Make-A-Wish so much is that those are those families' wishes, Cena said in a recent interview on The Drew Barrymore Show when asked why he enjoys fulfilling wishes.

"You can do anything you want, and Make-A-Wish’s list is enormous, they literally will do anything you want. 'I want to kick it with John Cena and go see him wrestle.' That is the coolest thing I have ever heard in my life," he continued.

"But all things considered, I love all that, I love that joy. I love that connection and that’s where I’m at right now. It is difficult for water to tread because everybody’s like, ‘Well, when?’ I just know not now," he added.
