Bryan Teen Gets Wish

An 18 year old from Bryan is get­ting some­thing very spe­cial from a very spe­cial orga­ni­za­tion. Devin Rum­mell is bat­tling bone can­cer. It was in 2012, after two years of knee pain, that Devin first received his diag­no­sis.

The Rum­mels had been tak­ing ATV off-roading trips together with dozens of friends and fam­ily for years. When Devin got his surgery, he was told he couldn’t do that any­more because it would be too hard on his leg. Now, Devin’s can­cer is finally in remis­sion. And Make A Wish is mak­ing that even sweeter news for Devin. Prior to his remis­sion, Devin had requested that his Jeep Wran­gler be souped up with an off-road pack­age in order to con­tinue his love affair with off-roading. Now, accord­ing to the Bryan Times, that wish has become a real­ity. The fin­ished prod­uct, donated by Amer­i­can Expe­di­tion Vehi­cles in Com­merce Town­ship, was a $20,000 gift that fea­tured an upgrade pack­age, which takes a stock Jeep Rubi­con and trans­forms it into a highly-capable off-road machine. The pack­age included front and rear bumpers, a 10,000-pound winch, cus­tom wheels, 35-inch tires, a heat reduc­tion hood, IPF lights, a snorkel sys­tem and a world-renowned dual-sport sus­pen­sion. This past week­end, Devin and his fam­ily took the Jeep to Sil­ver Lake Sand Dunes in Michi­gan, where he had the time of his life with it. Oh… in addi­tion to the Jeep makeover, Devin got a puppy too.
