Ok, so we all know that Sarah's a bit of a charity obsessive, but we figured it was about time that the fundraising fever hit James and the rest of our friends!
We've chosen this time to raise over £7,300 for Make-a-Wish. This UK-based charity has a single purpose – to grant magical wishes to children and young people aged 3-17 fighting life-threatening illnesses.
Make-A-Wish has granted more than 7,000 magical wishes over 25 years. It's well publicised how make-a-wish have transformed lives. With over 20,000 children in the UK are living with a life-threatening illness, (figure validated by research) myself and James believe that there are few things more important, or more deserving, than giving a seriously ill child the chance to have their wish come true, with all the hope, expectation and happiness that brings. For many families the Make-A-Wish memory can be the last happy memory they have of their child having fun in a magical world, surrounded by family and friends – rather than memories of days and weeks of painful treatments and hospitalisation. The memory of the wish may be of their child laughing and enjoying being a princess or zoo keeper for the day or meeting a favourite celebrity. In years to come, the family can look back and remember that special time.
As a way of celebrating the make-a-wish achievement, we'll be going to Norway to work with the husky-sledging team. This 200k sledge will give us first hand experience of the activities offered to young people as part of make-a-wish.
It's important to highlight here that the cost of the trip is included in the above fundraising total, however as with all our fundraising challenge events in the past - we will pay for this ourself through the charity over the course of the next 6 months.
Make-A-Wish is about passion, expertise, trust and fairness. Their wishes are about magic, hope, smiles and memories. So please, dig deep, sponsor us or get involved in one of our charity events or activities.
