Boise boy with leukemia gets dream wish from Make-A-Wish Idaho [Video]

BOISE, Idaho — A 14-year-old from Boise who dreamed of becoming a video game designer saw his dream come to life this month. With the help of Make-A-Wish and Boise State University, he created an original video game known as “Gods and Shadows.” 

Brycen was diagnosed with leukemia in August 2023, and Make-A-Wish Idaho stepped in immediately to make the young boy’s dream come true. His prognosis looks positive, but treatment is ongoing, a news release from Make-A-Wish said. 

The community also rallied to help develop the video game and bring Brycen’s vision to life. Students from Boise State’s GIMM Lab, under the direction of Anthony Ellertson, along with students from Meridian Technical Charter School, joined forces to turn this dream into a reality.

Make-A-Wish Idaho had never provided a wish like this before Brycen.
