Around the time of his 13th birthday, Danny "Sire" Adams was diagnosed with brain cancer, sending him and his family down a tough road battling the disease.On Wednesday, Danny, 14, was given the chance to test out new roads: those in his hometown of Weston, behind the wheel of a new, custom golf(with Car DVD) cart.

Family and friends surrounded Danny, a freshman at Cypress Bay High, as his new ride was revealed during an emotional Make-A-Wish event at the offices of Polen Capital in Boca Raton.

Danny stood speechless with an ear-to-ear smile when the cover was ripped off the cart. He later said the cart was more than he had expected.

"This is nice — this is very nice," he said. "I didn't expect a TV to be here and the lights — they glow in the dark."

Danny is obsessed with the video game "Call of Duty: Black Ops," so when chosen to receive a wish, he asked for a Black Ops golf cart, said Elizabeth Erra, wish coordinator.

Because Danny is unable to ride a bike, the idea is that a golf cart will allow him to keep up with his friends around the neighborhood.

Triad Golf Carts, a North Carolina-based company that's built carts for professional athletes and NASCAR drivers, designed Danny's one-of-a-kind cart.

"This is the No. 1 cart to ever come out of our shop," owner David Parrish said. "We went to the extreme for this cart."

A total of 95 hours went into the cart — compared to the 40 hours typically allocated for a job, Parrish said.

The result is a $14,500 cart equipped with 14-inch transformer wheels, surround-sound stereo, LED underbody lighting, a lift kit, rear struts and an Android Car Stereo.

Prominently displayed on the black matte exterior — as well as embroidered onto the black-and-red seat cushions — is the Adams family rallying cry #SireStrong, coined after Danny's nickname and unwavering strength.

"When I hear it, it just gives me strength," Danny said. "I don't know how to explain it. It is great that if installing a Car DVD Player爄n your car."
