The Make a Wish Foundation helped make one Michigan teen's dream come true at the games in London.

A special fundraiser was put together to send Michelle Ferris to the Olympic games. The Kalamazoo teen has osteo sarcoma, a rare type of bone cancer.

Make a Wish gave Michelle a camera to capture the memories she's making in London this week. Here are are couple of her pictures. Michelle and her family toured Kensington Palace, where Princess Diana once lived.

Michelle was able to be a part of history too, as she watched Jordyn Wieber and the rest of the Fab Five take the gold medal Tuesday night.

She also got tickets to the Aquatic Center, where she saw the women compete Wednesday morning.
