Did Macklemore's Visit Help Cure Rare Heart Condition?

The PACT team’s outreach efforts paid off. At the show, AJ and his mom were delighted to be escorted backstage to Macklemore’s “friends and family” room where the 6-year-old got to meet his hero.

“It was such a great experience,” his mom said. “Macklemore and his fiance were so kind and gentle with him. They gave him gifts and joked with him. Macklemore even told AJ that he was planning a surprise visit to the hospital so he would see him again soon.”

AJ enjoyed the concert from the very front, nodding along to his favorite songs.

“He just lit up,” Yea said. “This was something special for him. It really boosted his spirits.”
