DIRTYWEEKEND · 11 May 2013

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. Since 1990, we have proudly granted over 19,000 Wishes across the UK. We'd love you to be part of the magic!

Story

Hello, we are the Dirty Weekenders:Tracy, Gareth aka G-Man, Calberth 'Charlie' Charles, James, Denise and Paul. We have all decided to take part in the Rat Race - Dirty Weekend, which is held on the 11th May 2013.   Did we really think about what's in store? .... No we did not, 200 obstacles over 20 miles is our challenge.

Are we the fittest bunch??? We’re not bad but we’re no marathon runners.

So we got to thinking what would keep us motivated and we decided we would like to support ‘WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR”.  Tracy has had first hand experience at seeing how wonderful this charity is.  A few years ago, one of her close family friends had the devastating news that their son had Leukaemia and after a long battle they lost him to this.  Before he passed away, WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR stepped in and fulfilled his dream of going to Lap Land and provided precious memories for him and his family.

 

The charity’s main aim is to raise funds and grant wishes of children suffering from life threatening illnesses and we certainly what to be part of making those dreams come true.  Granting these wishes costs money, and though this is a top class charity, it constantly needs financial support from outside.

 

Your donation to WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR, will help support on-going magic of making special wishes come true for these extraordinary and courageous children. So please dig deep and donate what you can cause we would be donating our lungs,legs, arms and everything else on this Obstacle course ;-) For further details on the WHEN YOU WISH UPON A STAR charity  please visit http://www.whenyouwishuponastar.org.uk/
