A Massachusetts native just entered the Guinness Book of World Records for a very admirable reason: he has granted more wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation than any other human. John Cena, who grew up in West Newbury, MA and now resides in Tampa, FL, entered the record books by fulfilling 650 wishes since he started in 2002 - more than anybody else. Cena granted the foundation's 1,000th wish in 2012 and hasn't slowed down since.

Cena, who works in the entertainment industry, told Reuters “If you ever need me for this ever, I don’t care what I’m doing, I will drop what I’m doing and be involved because I think that’s the coolest thing."

Now it's YOUR turn to get in that Guinness Book:
