Spokane Boy's KISS Wish Comes True

June 25, 2011

According to KXLY4's Annie Bishop, a Spokane, Washington boy who is suffering from cystic fibrosis had his wish came true Friday night when he met the members of KISS at the Spokane Arena.

Dilan Kohn became a KISS fan at 9 years old and has never looked back.

"Every time I listen to it I just imagine being at a KISS concert," Dilan said. "His face just perks up, he immediately sticks out his tongue," said Paul Kohn, Dilan's father.

The band spent about ten minutes with Dilan and a few other fans taking photos and signing autographs before heading onto stage.

KISS has not just helped Dilan feel better but it has also helped his father as well. Last year Paul was in the hospital for weeks so Dilan decided to make Paul KISS dolls to help cheer him up. Paul said that for Dilan "to make something for me to make me feel better while I was sick, just made me feel great."
