A 19-year-old from Coconut Creek, Florida who is currently fighting a rare blood cancer, had a wish of visiting the Subaru factory in Japan, but because of travel restrictions, that hasn’t happened.

Make-A-Wish Southern Florida says Daniel made his wish to visit Subaru’s factory in Japan more than a year ago, but chemotherapy meant he was too weak to travel. Just when he recovered, the coronavirus pandemic saw international travel grind to a halt, with Make-A-Wish deciding to postpone the granting of travel-related wishes.

The parade was led by a police escort and included Daniel’s very favorite Subaru, a WRX STI from 2004.
