7960527074?profile=originalAstraea Quisenberry came a long way to see baby sea turtles march into the sea.

Astraea, a 5-year-old from Portland, Ore., has been fighting leukemia and wanted to see the turtles

at Gumbo Limbo. The Make-A-Wish Foundation, and Gumbo Limbo, made it happen on July 30.

She got to spend the day checking out the shipwreck tank and turtle rehab hospital

before watching 33 hatchlings released at the beach. She waved and wished them luck.
