My story

Thank you for visiting my fund raising page.

Please dig deep and sponsor me online. What am i raising money for? Why am i raising money?

 

The first mission is Lapland

I am trying to raise £75,000 to send 100 poorly children to visit the real Santa in Lapland.

I manged to raise the £75,000, By December 2008, so that meant I could send 100 very poorly children to visit Santa in Lapland. Thank you for all your help and support in this. 

 

BUT NOW

I am trying raise £100,000, for 30/45 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.

 

Why give them a wish?
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.

 

I have been, I know what it is like!
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

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

My charity

When You Wish Upon A Star

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.
