Blimp Ride is Wish Come True for Doylestown Seniors

Four Doylestown seniors are preparing for the ride of a lifetime. 

Jack and Marion Soloski, Jim Maxwell and Doris Myers will be taking a ride in a blimp later this month, thanks to the Twilight Wish Foundation.

The four seniors, all in their 80s and residents of Wesley Enhanced Living in Doylestown, will take a ride in the Horizon Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Jersey blimp, one of 25 in the world, according to information from the Twilight Wish Foundation.

The flight will be on the morning of Aug. 24 at the Solberg-Hunterdon Airport in Whitehouse Station, N.J. 

The Twilight Wish Foundation, based in Doylestown, is a national nonprofit charitable organization that grants wishes to seniors.

Since it was founded in 2003, Twilight Wish has granted more than 1,900 individual wishes to seniors throughout the country.

Wishes have been granted to seniors who are over 68 years old and have an income of less than 200 percent of the poverty level or who are residents of a nursing facility and cannot make their own wishes come true.
