VIDEO: Cancer patient gets motorcycle wish granted
A brave 7-year-old being treated for brain cancer was granted a very special wish: the chance to ride on a motorcycle.

NORTH PHILADELPHIA -- A brave 7-year-old being treated for brain cancer was granted a very special wish on Saturday.

The Action Cam was in North Philadelphia as Jibril DeVries took a ride on the back of a motorcycle.

Jibril uses a wheelchair to get around and has never ridden on the back of a chopper, like he always wanted.

On Saturday, that all changed.

Jibirl finished his ride surrounded by family and friends.

His mom said he smiled more on the motorcycle than he did during a recent trip to Disney World.
