Gym class, soccer, the Florida Marlins and more – these are some of 10-year-old Jason’s favorite things. During his battle with leukemia, he often turns to sports as an escape. So what did this sports fanatic from Palm Beach Gardens wish for? He wished for his bedroom to be converted into a sports memorabilia room so he could surround himself with his most prized possessions. Jason, who has been collecting memorabilia for years, has enough sports gear and autographed items to rival the local sporting goods store. A lot of preparation went into transforming his bedroom into a sports lover’s dream and he didn’t mind a bit. Jason’s room was outfitted with a new coat of blue paint, carpeting, sports-themed bedding, a huge corner bookcase unit, custom shelves, frames and display cases. There’s even a customized wall cling of Jason. He said, “My room is awesome now. I love it!”
