The city of Philadelphia and WWE partnered with Make-A-Wish to host the kids and their families for their annual Circle of Champions event. An exclusive meet and greet for the kids who got a chance to talk, take pictures and get autographs from some of their favorite wrestlers like WWE superstars CM Punk and Bianca Belair.Diaz was one of the 19 kids honored at the event. A wish was granted for her. She has been in and out of the hospital since she was 4 years old.
WWE superstar Belair said it's humbling for them to bring joy to these kids during a time when they need it the most. "The kids are so inspiring, it's one thing to be seen as a hero inside the ring but to be seen as a hero outside the ring, to come and put smiles on their faces, it's an amazing thing but to us, they are our heroes," said Belair.
