West Newbury's John Cena is making a lot of wishes come true.
The Make a Wish Foundation recently honored the professional wrestler/movie star for granting 100 wishes to children since 2004, joining an elite group that includes basketball star Kobe Bryant and NASCAR driver Jeff Gordon.
"We'll have the real celebration when we hit 1,000" Cena says on the World Wrestling Entertainment Web site. "It's not about the people who grant the wishes. It's about the people who get the wishes. This award will definitely hold a place in my personal portfolio in very high regard."
Make a Wish Foundation CEO David Williams said Cena is on a pace to be the biggest wish-granter in the organization's history.
"One hundred wishes is a lot," Williams said. "We typically don't see that many celebrities grant that many wishes. It speaks to the popularity of the WWE and John Cena."
