Dillon’s Special Day at the Florida Aquarium

This week, 10-year-old Dillon experienced something truly unforgettable: a special meet-and-greet with the African penguins at the Florida Aquarium! Dillon, who battles cystic fibrosis, has faced more hospital stays and treatments than any child should. But on this day, it was all about laughter, excitement, and making memories.

Thanks to the incredible team at the Florida Aquarium, Dillon got a behind-the-scenes look at the penguin habitat and met these adorable animals up close. His smile stretched from ear to ear as he watched the penguins waddle and play.
