SEATTLE — When Jeff Henigson was just 15 years old, the Starlight Foundation offered him a wish after being diagnosed with brain cancer. While some kids might wish for a trip to Disneyland or to meet a favorite celebrity, Henigson threw a curveball; The teenager wanted to travel to the then Soviet Union to meet with Mikhail Gorbachev - with the intent of discussing nuclear disarmament and ending the Cold War.
His wish was granted, and Henigson was able to meet with officials in Russia. His memoir, Warhead: The True Story of One Teen Who Almost Saved the World, details his amazing story with humor and surprises.
