Many gathered for the annual parade of the first Friday in Clemson. The celebration starts at the opening weekend of the home football calendar in 2025. PARAINE The crowd was very special fans who applaud and are supported because they are faced with a challenge that is not on the ground. The recipients of Clemson Family Wish. Clemson Family Wish is a non -profit organization that raises those who face a disease or trauma that changes their life. The recipients are Issac Wigington, Natalie Stanton, Reese Colburn who died from heart problems, his mother was present in her place, and finally Christian Browning. “I didn’t think I would even have the opportunity to do it, but … sorry,” said Christian. Through tears, Christian tried to speak with Wyff 4 about his trip, but it was difficult. Each recipient has endured so much, and their stories can be difficult to tell, but alongside them, parents who help bring the weight and be their voice. “He was born with heart disease. He had a difficult life,” said Kelly Browning, who is Christian’s mother. “He has undergone several surgeries. Treatment with a lot of things in his life. He also had a liver disease.” Then there is Issac Wigington, a former Wren High School football player who was aimed at playing for Clemson. A car accident last September left him a serious brain injury and took one of his legs. “He has coded several times,” said Issac’s mother Angie Wigington. “They didn’t think he would, honestly.” Thanks to Clemson Family Wish, Issac and Christian experience joy as they approach the most difficult blows of life. “Being involved with Clemson Family Wish has certainly given him so much positive things to hope for, even if we know that there are huge things that are not so fun,” said Kelly. Issac’s mother highlights the moments she heard the Clemson football players say something very important for her. “They counted a blessing to be able to play football. And I said to myself,” said Angie. While Clemson players are on the ground this season, they will have special fans encouraging them along the way and will also applaud those who are confronted with their own challenges. “You just have to believe that God has a goal in everything,” said Angie.
