RICHMOND, Va. — A local seven-year-old girl and her family are on their way to Disney World thanks to Make-A-Wish Greater Virginia and United Healthcare, who sponsored the trip.

Grace wished to go to the Florida theme-parks with her family, and that wish is about to become a reality.

The countdown is officially on! They family leaves for Orlando in just 14 short days. By the looks of these pictures, Grace is very excited.

United Healthcare held the “I Dream of Disney” Princess-themed sendoff party Thursday, filled with family and friends.
