New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and wide receiver Randy Moss took part in a “Make a Wish Foundation” and “Angels Above” meet and greet Tuesday after passing camp. The meeting which was arranged through the Patriots Charitable Foundation took place right at the Gillette Stadium facility.

Brady and Moss spent time with four teenagers battling life threatening diseases. Charlotte Hutnak, 16 of South Attleboro MA, DJ Murphy, 19 of Medford MA, Matteo Petosa, 12 of Ontario Canada, and David Sierra, 17 of Fullerton CA and their families got to chat with the two pro bowlers and spend some quality time.

They also came away with autographs and some Patriots memorabilia.

“The whole time I just couldn’t believe it was Tom Brady.” said Hutnak, 16, of South Attleboro, at a loss for words in describing her time with the Patriots starting quarterback.

In addition to the teens getting to partake in some time with their sporting heroes, the visit also gave a boost of support to the families who have been forced to deal with the affects of debilitating illness.

“This means the world to her and to us,” Hutnak’s mother, Anne, added.

“I’m just so thankful to the entire Patriots organization for this opportunity,” said Carlo Petosa, father of 12-year-old Matteo. “They have no idea how much this means.”
