Story

Hi everyone,

I will be taking part in the Women’s 10k in Glasgow on the 9th of May in aid of Make a Wish Foundation UK.

Make a Wish is the leading wish giving charity that grants wishes to children and young people fighting life threatening illnesses.

Every pound can make a difference for this Charity, make a wish do not receive government funding or lottery grants, they rely on public support so every donation really counts. A childs wish can be anything from being a superhero for the day to meeting someone famous. The most simple of wishes can be a childs most treasured memory.

 Here are some examples of how your donation can help:

£10 will buy lunch for a child who wishes for a special visit to London

£20 pays for a sparkly tiara to help fulfil a little girls wish to be a princess for a day.

£50 buys a special uniform for a boy who wishes to be a soldier, policeman or fireman for the day.

£100 provides a Eurostar ticket to help make a wish of a special trip to Paris happen.

£150 pays for a mini tuxedo for a boy wishing to be James Bond.

£200 will fund a magical therapeutic swim in the sea with dolphins for a child who wishes to go to Florida.

£350 buys a VIP hospitality ticket for a child who wishes a trip to Old Trafford to see Man U. play.

£1000 will buy accommodation at Disneyland Resort Paris for a wish child's whole family.

 

At least 1000 children will turn to make a wish this year, they need to raise over £5 million each year to pay for all their wishes, your donation helps grant the most heartfelt desires of a child living with a life threatening condition.
