A five-year-old cancer survivor received a "Random Act of Light" Monday from the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.

Isaac Schneider is a leukemia survivor. On Monday, he was able to do what he loves most: ride a John Deere tractor. A "Random Act of Light" is similar to Make-a-Wish, delivering a special experience for a deserving child.

The boy's parents said life growing up on a farm keeps them together. 

"After three years of going through what we did and seeing so many kids, and unfortunately knowing so many of his friends that have not been as lucky as he was, it's times like these that makes all of that so much better," said his mom Jennie Schneider. 

Isaac loved the opportunity to ride a much bigger tractor than he's used to riding at home as part of Wisconsin Farm Technology Days.
