"Justin Bieber has been praised for his charity work after breaking a record for the Make-A-Wish Foundation. The singer has become the first recording artist ever to grant 200 wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions in partnership with the organisation.  The latest wish he granted was ahead of the final US date of his &amp;#039;Believe Tour&amp;#039; at Atlanta&amp;#039;s Philips Arena, where he spent time with 8-year-old Annalysha backstage and made sure she received VIP treatment. &amp;quot;Despite his relentless schedule, Justin has been genuinely committed to granting wishes since the very beginning and a strong supporter of Make-A-Wish,&amp;quot; said David Williams, president and CEO of Make-A-Wish America. &amp;quot;Justin understands the impact on a child of a wish-come-true and how it can create positive changes in their outlook, help them feel better, and even influence their health.&amp;quot; @MakeAWish honored yesterday. one of the best moments ive ever had. thank u. looking forward to doing more together. thanks \u00E2\u20AC\u201D Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) August 11, 2013 Bieber&amp;#039;s involvement with Make-A-Wish started in 2009 in LA and he has granted a wish at nearly every tour stop since, posing for photographs, signing autographs and providing tickets for prime seating at his concerts.
