A Brighton six-year-old dreams of visiting Disneyland came one step closer, thanks to Mountain Range High School students.

Mountain Range students participating in the Colorado “Kids for Wish Kids” program helped raise the money to send Brighton’s Arhyaih Matheson, to the theme park with her family.

“We are excited and ready to make new memories and have talked about it all week,” said Arhyaih’s Mom Shaughnessy Matheson.

Arhyaih had stomach cancer, she said, but doctors removed it, and he went through chemotherapy for about six months. He’s doing better, she said.
