Raising money for

When You Wish Upon A Star

Charity Registration No. 1060963

When You Wish Upon a Star are a small charity whose primary aim is to grant the Wishes of children between the ages of 2 - 16 years old suffering from life threatening illnesses.

All children have Wishes but for these children and their families that Wish is so much more precious and for the duration of their Wish, these children are able to forget about hospital routines, doctors, gruelling treatments and have the chance to smile, laugh and enjoy life like any other child.

Wishes are varied and far reaching. For some it is a trip to Disneyland in Florida or Paris to meet their favourite characters and for others it is the chance to get up close to a favourite pop star of sporting hero. Some children just want books or toys, whilst others want a computer to catch up on school work or keep in touch with their friends. Whatever the Wish, wherever possible, When You Wish Upon a Star will aim to make that Wish come true.

My story

Hi, thanks for visiting (though I've no doubt badgered you into it). Those who know me well will be aware I'm not an especially athletic person, as will anyone who has looked at me. However at the end of May this year I completed my first ever triathlon - 500m outdoor swim, 20k bike and 5k run - to raise money for When You Wish Upon a Star. I'm very proud of my association with Wish, and they do incredible work bringing joy to families when they are going through the worst possible time. They are also really small so literally every penny helps. Please give all you can - I did in May. Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure - they even take Paypal. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor me: When You Wish Upon A Star gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation at no extra cost to you.

So please, please sponsor me now!
