MILWAUKEE (WKOW) -- Governor Scott Walker fulfills the wish of a Wisconsin boy in need of a heart transplant.

The boy's wish was to meet the governor.

Twelve-year-old Blake Parker lead the governor in a sing-a-long at Children's Hospital of Wisconsin in Milwaukee.

Parker was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome. He's been on the transplant waiting list since February of 2011.

Governor Walker says, "Good reminder about signing up to be a donor on your driver's license, not only for Blake, but for a lot of other kids. A good chance of checking off that number one thing on their list make it a lot more easy if more people do that."

When asked, Blake summed up the governor's visit in one word -- fun.
