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

BECAUSE OF MAJOR WORK COMMITMENTS (BBC) I'VE HAD TO DEFER MY PLACE ON THIS RUN UNTIL NEXT YEAR - SORRY TO ANYONE WHO'S DONATED BUT YOU'LL GET YER POUND OF FLESH AND SWEAT NEXT YEAR I PROMISE YOU'S - AND IN THE MEANTIME YOU'VE DONATED TO A WORTHY CAUSE. I'M REALLY SORRY!

I've only ever run to the chippy before now but I'm going to give it a go. People aim to do it in around two hours, I'll just be happy to complete it on the day - 12 MILES!!!!! That's far that is - that's like from our house to Manchester or Sheffield or somewhere that I'd drive to not walk to and definitely not run to! I'm from Oldham originally for God's sake - I've spent too much of my life eating pies and kebabs (you have to or they call you poncey).

Our friend Kirsty Ashton (who's 16) wants to raise £60,000 this year to pay for the trip to Lapland and any donation you can make will go towards this target.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: When You Wish Upon A Star will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

Kersh.
