Photos: Rob Gronkowski makes a wish come true

Former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski was back in town to grant a Make-A-Wish Massachusetts and Rhode Island for 14-year-old Florida resident and cancer survivor Joseph "Jake" Drake on Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023. Gronkowski met Jake and his family at Splitsville Luxury Lanes at Patriot Place, where they bowled, played games and got to know each other. Jake will back at the stadium on Sunday, where he'll have a VIP gameday experience including being only the third-ever "Keeper of the Light," ringing the bell atop the new lighthouse in the end zone ahead of kickoff.
