Story

On 10th September 2023, our amazing team of #WishHero runners will be donning their capes and trainers to take on the 13.1 miles of the iconic Great North Run!

Right now, more than 60,000 children in the UK have been diagnosed with a critical condition, changing their lives and the lives of their families forever. For them, the joy of childhood is brought to an abrupt end, with treatment plans, hospital appointments and sleepless nights taking over.

By running for Make-A-Wish UK, this team has the power to revive childhoods stolen by critical illnesses. With every step and every mile, they will bring light and joy to children and their loved ones and leave a profound and lasting impact on all their lives.
