Hayley Poultney is raising money for When You Wish Upon A Star
In memory of Michael Jagger
Donations cannot currently be made to this page

Great Manchester Swim 2013 · 20 July 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

14 years ago a very special little boy, Michael Jagger went to be with the Angels.

Since then I have been involved with the children’s charity “When you Wish upon a Star” who granted Michael’s wish and who do so for many other children that suffer from life threatening
illness.

I am honoured to be part of an amazing team who take 100 children to Lapland every year. To see their faces on this magical day is something I never forget. For one day only they can forget about hospital trips etc and enjoy a day, tailor made, just for them, including having their own one to one time with Father Christmas - truly amazing!

Over the years I have done numerous sponsored challenges ranging from a Bunge jump, "It’s a Knockout", Running and a Dragon Boat Race.

This year is no exception and on the 20th July I am going be competing in the Great Manchester Swim at Salford Quays & Kate has agreed to join me in this challange.  This is a very special day as Michael would have been 22, so I would like to do him proud. In addition to this on the 18th August, we are once again entering a team in the Dragon Boat Race, so this web page is for both events.

I know times are tough and we appreciate that everyone is trying to raise money for their own dedicated Charity but could we please ask for a small donation as this would make so much difference to all the courageous girls and boys and their families, that When You Wish Upon A Star aim to help.

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit our page.

Love Hayley & Kate
