ST. LOUIS (First Alert 4) -- This week’s guest on Backstory STL is Chad Baker, a volunteer wish granter with the Make-A-Wish foundation.

His connection to Make-A-Wish started in the 1980s. He was diagnosed with a rare cancer called Rhabdomyosarcoma as a young child. His parents coordinated a vacation for him through Make-A-Wish, which was in its early years at the time.

Baker has been volunteering for Make-A-Wish since 2014. Last year, he was named the Make-A-Wish volunteer of the year.
