WWE U.S. Champion John Cena celebrated his 500th wish through the Make-A-Wish Foundation during his appearance on NBC’s “Today” show on Thursday morning.

You can check out video footage of Cena’s appearance above, or at Today.com, as he meets Rocco Lanzer, an eight year old kid who was diagnosed with Leukemia in January. Cena had already visited Rocco in the hospital a few months ago, but Rocco was too sick back then.

Cena commented during his appearance, “A lot of times when people donate time or resources, there’s a little speculation about where it goes. I’m at the finish line. I get to see the families; I get to see the joy and the hope that we bring. I’ll continue to be involved with Make-A-Wish as long as they’ll have me.”

Cena brought Rocco WWE gear, including tickets to an upcoming WWE RAW show. Cena will celebrate his 500th wish during an event at Dave & Busters in Times Square in New York City on Friday. Stephanie McMahon, Sheamus and The Bella Twins are also scheduled to appear.
