John Cena breaks record with over 650 ‘Make a Wish’ wishes fulfilled

Jun 22 2022 Share

Actor and WWE star John Cena has just broken an incredibly touching milestone this week after it was revealed that he broke the Make-A-Wish record for wishes granted. 

The star has granted more than 650 wishes for the foundation, which helps fulfil the wishes of kids with critical illnesses between the ages of two-and-a-half and 18. 

The accomplishment was announced by the WWE’s official social media on the 19th of June as they celebrated Cena Month on their platforms. The wrestling legend was pictured hugging a fan tearing up with joy for the special occasion. 

When compared to other WWE stars, legends Hulk Hogan and NASCAR’s Dale Earnhardt Jr. and Jeff Gordon granted more than 200 wishes. But no one, apart from Cena, ever made it past the 300 mark. 

Many commended Cena for his dedication to grant these kids’ wishes, praising him as a respectable and loving human being and an outright GOAT well beyond the ring and the movie set.

Police were informed yesterday at around 2230hrs by the health authorities that a 46-year-old man resident of Ghasri had to be taken to Gozo General Hospital due to grievous injuries. 

The man suffered the injuries after he was allegedly involved in an altercation with two other men. The incident had occurred earlier during the day at around 1130hrs in Triq l-Ghammar, l-Ghasri. 

The two other men, aged 25 and 56, were also residents of Ghasri and were arrested during the night. They were taken for medical attention at the hospital and were certified to have suffered light injuries.

Investigations are still ongoing and an inquiry has been opened.

Woman suffering life threatening miscarriage not allowed to terminate pregnancy

Woman suffering life threatening miscarriage not allowed to terminate pregnancy

Pro-choice NGO Doctors for Choice Malta have highlighted the story of a 16-week pregnant woman who is running the risk of infection due to undergoing a miscarriage. 

She is currently fearing for her life as doctors at Mater Dei Hospital are refusing to terminate the pregnancy after her water broke prematurely around a week ago. The woman, who is a US citizen, is still waiting for insurance clearance to be able to be evacuated out of Malta to another country. 

Her request to terminate the pregnancy was denied and was told doctors can only intervene if she is imminently dying. ‘Not even getting an infection is enough.’ 

Doctors are unwilling to even discuss the option of abortion with her as she is being forced to wait at the hospital, her life in jeopardy. ‘The family is rightly distraught and desperate for a solution’ the post read.

With Malta being the only EU country with a total ban on abortion, the call by activists and many others has been consistent in demanding the access to abortion as healthcare. The EU also constantly looked at Malta for not legalising the practice whenever the topic comes up.

Pop star Billie Eilish has came out candidly abut the prospect of having children, expressing her desire to become a mother in the future. 

Speaking in a brand new interview, the singer went into everything concerning her family, feeling unsafe in America and her demanding tour schedules. 

During the interview, the 20-year-old said that she worries about having children, saying that she dreads it but wants to be a mum. ‘I would rather die than not have kids. I need them’ she said. 

“The older I get, the more I experience things, I just think, uuuugh, what am I going to do when my kid thinks that this is the right thing to do and I’m, like, no, it’s not! And they won’t listen to me.”

However, Eilish went on to open up about her worries, reflecting on the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas. She said it’s scary being a young person in today’s America, and that it shouldn’t be ok to be scared going to school. 

Set to be the youngest ever solo headliner to perform at Glastonbury festival, Eilish talked about her gruelling concert schedules. She said that on the European leg of her Happier Than Every tour, she went days without seeing natural light due to her timetable.
