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

Thank you for visiting my fund raising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.
I am trying to raise £140,000, so that i can send 100 very poorly children to visit Santa in Lapland and for 30/40 families and the poorly child to have a five day brake at Centre Parc's, Sherwood Forest. This 5 day brake will give the families of the poorly child some quality time together away from the hospital. I want the week to be filled with fun and adventures for the children and there families, an holiday to remember.

Some of these children don't have very long with us and having a wish granted for them really does give these children something to look forward too. The trip to Lapland will cost £65,000,00 and the trip to Centre Parc's around £75,000,00

I have been one of them children to have a wish granted so I know how much it helps and knowing my wish was going to come true helped me cope with a very difficult year. My dream now is to make wishes come true for other poorly children while they still have some quality of life left to enjoy the experience. To read more about me and the charity please go to my web site www.kirstysstory.co.uk

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 and help a child's dream come true.

Many thanks for your support.
