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

On 2nd July 2008, 12 Officers from Greater Manchester Police and their support team will embark on the challenge of a lifetime. They plan to cycle from John O'Groats to Lands End, a distance of 1000 miles.

On reaching Lands End they will then run to Dover, a distance of 400 miles whereupon they will swim the English Channel to Calais. They plan to undertake this challenge travelling non-stop, 24 hours a day cycling, running and swimming both day and night until the task is completed.

Members of the team are veterans from the Lands End to John O'Groats run completed in 2003, when ten officers ran day and night completing the 1000 miles in 5 days 3 hours beating the previous Police record by 20 hours and more importantly raising in excess of £20,000.
