    A 9-year-old Fremont boy with Marfan Syndrome shares his memories of a very special trip to Disney world.  It was made possible by the Make-A-Wish Foundation and 13abc.  Camden shares some of his memories from the trip and pays a behind-the-scenes visit to 13abc.

It was a one in a 38 million chance, and one local couple won the trip of a lifetime.

Craig and Jill Manzagol from Oregon won a free trip to Super Bowl XLVI!

They were entered into a nation-wide contest every time they used their Visa card this past fall. Speaking on the phone from Indianapolis, Jill said she made the winning purchase in Novi, Michigan. She was there to buy gluten-free food, a dietary necessity for her Celiac's disease.

When Jill got the call from Visa at her dentist's office, she didn't believe it.

The Manzagols had won a 5 day, 4 night all-expense VIP trip to the 2012 Super Bowl. Jill and Craig said they're excited for tonight's game, especially because they're supposed to meet the material girl herself, Madonna.

And since the Cleveland Browns are not there, the couple is rooting for the New England Patriots, because of Tom Brady's University of Michigan roots.
