Melody is an 8-year-old girl from Harriman suffering from craniopharyngioma, which is rare, slow-growing, noncancerous brain tumors. After a warm welcome from Topgolf Knoxville employees, who held its first Make-A-Wish East Tennessee send-off at its 11400 Outlet Drive location in Farragut earlier this spring, Melody showed lots of maturity and religious gratefulness by insisting on leading a prayer before this special greeting was over. Melody’s granted wish sent her to Destin, Florida, earlier this month to swim and play in the ocean. “She has fought her condition like a champ,” a Topgolf Knoxville press release stated, adding she was excited “to share time at the beach with her parents and sister, Jasmine.
The anticipation of her wish coming true has made her happier.”
