"My Wish" on SportsCenter Returns for 10th Year on July 19

With 50 sports-themed wishes fulfilled since the series began in 2006, the ESPN "My Wish" Series returns to SportsCenter for its 10th year starting Sunday, July 19.

This year's series of five wishes will feature one of the NFL's most storied teams, a record-setting U.S. Olympian and an MLB National League MVP as they fulfill the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Working together with Make-A-Wish, ESPN produces feature segments on the wishes for airing on SportsCenter, with the first wish debuting in the 11 p.m. ET edition on Sunday. The remaining four will premier in the 6 p.m. SportsCenter Monday-Thursday, July 20-24, with a one-hour special featuring highlights of all five wishes airing Thursday at 7:30 p.m. on ESPN.

As he has done since the beginning of the series, Chris Connelly will host the "My Wish" series on SportsCenter, including a series compilation airing in the morning edition of the program on Saturday, July 25.

The five ESPN "My Wish" on SportsCenter segments for 2015 include:

· Sunday, July 19 (11 p.m. SportsCenter) - San Francisco 49ers: Anthony Pineda, a 14-year-old from San Bernardino, Calif., who has been battling leukemia, wants to spend time with the 49ers and get a jersey signed for his father figure who recently died after a sudden illness.

· Monday, July 20 (6 p.m.) - Michael Phelps: Sixteen-year-old Hailey Cannaday of Clintonville, Ohio, hasn't let osteosarcoma affect her dreams of swimming in college. With her Olympic idol, she gets a tour of the U.S. training facility and makes a splash in the pool.

· Tuesday, July 21 (6 p.m.) - WWE Superstar John Cena: Seven-year-old Kenneth "KJ" Harmon of Orlando, Fla., is battling end stage renal disease. He heads to Washington, D.C., to get a behind-the-scenes glimpse of WWE from Cena.

All features will re-air multiple times on other editions of SportsCenter. Disney, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, including ESPN, has supported Make-A-Wish for three decades.
