Epilepsy sufferer meets Miley

A big dream is about to be fulfilled for a Weyauwega girl who suffers from epilepsy.

Autumn Breier is a huge Miley Cyrus fan, and the Make-a-Wish Foundation is about to bring the two of them together.

Amid flashing lights, horns, and sirens, 13-year-old Autumn arrived at her middle school Wednesday riding a fire truck as part of a celebration sponsored by the Make-a-Wish Foundation.

“They called my foster mom and told them my wish was coming true, and I was like, oh my goodness,” Amber says. “I was like in a happy mood.”

Autumn’s wish is to see Miley Cyrus, a music, television, and movie star and teenage idol.
“I like all of her songs a lot. Her songs are so fun to listen to, especially if you’re a fan of her.”
Originally Autumn was told it might take two years to fulfill the wish after she was put on a waiting list with 60 other names.

But last week, a surprise event with Miley Cyrus was announced.

On Tuesday, Autumn plans to fly to California. She hopes to meet Miley Cyrus on either Wednesday or Thursday at a private gathering for Make-a-Wish kids.

“There’s going to be 20 to 30 kids and families, then she will get some one-on-one time with her, too. All the kids will,” Autumn’s foster mom, Amy Ruelle, said.

“She talks about her,” Ruelle says, “and I’m sure she’ll talk to her like she’s known her forever.”

“I’m so excited,” Autumn says.
