When You Wish Upon a Star has a simple mission: to grant the Wishes of children living with a life threatening illness. Wishes have the power to transform the lives of children and families.

Story

<p>Hi guys, thanks for visiting.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So, I'm running a marathon. A marathon. Me. Running. A marathon. I know.&nbsp;</p> <p>As you may be aware, I'm not quite the traditional athlete shape. Or mentality. But When You Wish Upon A Star are an amazing charity, who do incredible work for children and their families, at the most dreadful, unthinkable time. They asked me, and they deserve my help. Yours too. I'm hating every step of training, and expect no euphoric, Hollywood style moment of glory at the end of it all. I'm doing it though. Because, like I say, those families deserve it.&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please, please, find what you can.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you x</p>
