Patrick Mahomes Fulfilled a Terminally Ill Girl’s Last Wish—What Happened Next Will Make You Cry

It was late September when the news arrived. Eight-year-old Janie sat on the edge of her hospital bed, her small hands clutching a crumpled piece of paper as her mother wept quietly beside her. Doctors had just told her she had two months left to live. The words echoed in her mind, heavy and final, like the dull thud of her heart.

Janie wasn’t like other kids. While her classmates spent their days playing in the park, Janie spent hers under the cold glare of hospital lights. She had been sick for as long as she could remember, but no one had told her it was this bad—not until today. Her mother, pale and exhausted, wiped her eyes and tried to force a smile. “Sweetheart, we’re going to make every day count, okay? We’re going to make sure you do everything you want.” Her voice cracked with the weight of promises she wasn’t sure how to keep.

But Janie already knew what she wanted. Just a week before, as she lay in bed watching a travel show, she had seen something magical: dolphins swimming in the crystal blue waters of Blue Lagoon Island. Their sleek bodies glided through the water, playful and free. For the first time in a long while, Janie felt hope flutter inside her chest. “Mom,” she had said, eyes wide and bright, “I want to swim with the dolphins.”

Her mother smiled weakly. “Maybe one day, honey.” But Janie hadn’t let it go. Something about the dolphins had captured her imagination, representing everything she couldn’t have: freedom, energy, life. After receiving the devastating news, the dream became her only lifeline.

That night, Janie decided she would write to Patrick Mahomes. If anyone could make her dream come true, maybe it was him. The next morning, sunlight streamed through her hospital room window, filling the small space with a soft glow. Janie shuffled over to the small desk by her window, her legs shaky but determined. Her mother watched from the corner of the room, concern written across her face, but she didn’t stop her.

With trembling hands, Janie picked up a pen. The blank page stared back at her, making her stomach flutter with nerves. What could she say that would make him listen? She took a deep breath, steadied her hand, and started writing.

“Dear Mr. Mahomes,” she began, her neat handwriting filling the page. She told him about her illness, how the doctors had given her only two months, and how she had been sick for so long she couldn’t remember what it felt like to be healthy. Then she told him about her dream to swim with dolphins in Blue Lagoon Island, the place she had seen on TV.

Once the letter was done, she looked at it for a long moment, folded the paper carefully, and placed it in an envelope. “Mom, do you think he’ll get it?” she asked, her voice barely a whisper. Her mother smiled through tears. “We’ll make sure he does, sweetheart.”

The letter was sent, and all Janie could do was wait. Days turned into weeks, and her routine became a blur of doctor visits and medications. Each time the phone rang, her heart raced, hoping for news. But as the days passed without a word, her hope began to fade.

Then, one evening, something happened. Janie was half asleep when her mother rushed into the room, her phone pressed to her ear. “Yes, this is her mother,” she was saying, her voice trembling with excitement. “Wait, you mean… what? He read it?”

Janie’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be true? Her mother turned to her, eyes shining with tears. “Elon Musk wants to help! He’s going to make your dream come true!”

Janie gasped, her mind racing. The next few days were a whirlwind of excitement and preparation. A private plane was arranged, and medical staff would accompany them to ensure Janie’s safety.

Finally, the day arrived. As they landed on Blue Lagoon Island, Janie felt a mixture of nerves and excitement. The turquoise waters sparkled in the sunlight, and as she stepped out of the car, she saw them—dolphins swimming playfully in the lagoon.

Elon Musk was there to greet her, his warm smile making her feel at ease. “I’m so glad you’re here, Janie,” he said, crouching down to her level. “Are you ready to swim with the dolphins?”

With a heart full of joy, Janie nodded. The moment she had dreamed of was finally here. As she swam with the dolphins, laughter echoed across the lagoon, and for the first time in months, she felt free.

As the sun began to set, painting the sky in shades of pink and orange, Janie knew her time at Blue Lagoon was coming to an end. But she had lived her dream, and in that moment, she felt a peace she hadn’t known in a long time.

Patrick Mahomes had not only fulfilled her last wish; he had given her a memory that would last a lifetime. As they drove away from the island, Janie leaned into her mother’s arms, ready to face whatever came next, knowing that her dream had come true.

What is it with these serial winners? They have a knack for winning, and the thing they are good at, they are a machine in it. Take Patrick Mahomes for example. When he needs to prove it, he becomes like a one-man savior for the Chiefs – 7 game-winning drives and responsible for five 4th-quarter comebacks in the 2024-25 season. He can just feel when the win is up for grabs.ư

And an apex predator like him doesn’t give charity wins, even for his close ones. In response to his Instagram post on Feb 2 where he tells about his ping-pong talents, Mahomes’s wife, Brittany, commented, “But good thing I can beat you at ping-pong🙂.” To which the defending back-to-back Super Bowl MVP replied, “No chance🤣”. Come on, Mahomes—no need to be blunt about it. But people like him have a saying – Not arrogant, just better.

Do Mr. and Mrs. Mahomes have ping-pong spurring sessions at home? Seems like they need to settle this with a Patrick vs Brittany game. The winner gets bragging rights on Instagram. Weirdly enough, we can’t bet against Patrick, can we? We have seen him on the gridiron. Brittany better have some skills we don’t know about.

We believe that a chiseled torso and a low body fat percentage directly relate to an athlete’s success. Prime example – Cristiano Ronaldo and Novak Djokovic. They are like our go-to examples when we think of the best athletes. But Mahomes’s trainer, Bobby Stroupe, says that thought process is flawed. For him, dad-bod features are what make Mahomes such a good QB.

While working with major league pitchers, Stroupe saw athletes with more body fat and mass were better throwers of the ball. What is a QB required to do? Throw to his wide receivers and tight ends. And we don’t have to tell you what a bullet throw Patrick Mahomes has.

A pitching instructor, Ben Brewster, who sees a similarity between pitchers and quarterbacks as far as throwing is concerned, also sees how the dad bod physique enhances throwing velocity: “If they feel better being 20 percent body fat, there’s no reason they have to be 10 percent body fat.” Definitely, it depends on how they feel about themselves.

Apart from this, according to Stroupe, Mahomes also has a special ability to read momentum and space, which helps him judge the speed and movement of himself and his opponents.

Take all this together, he is just built to be a champion quarterback. And yes, give the credit to the ‘dad bod’. That’s taken him to the footsteps of a never-before-done 3-peat.
