Every day around 57 children in the UK are diagnosed with a critical illness which is why I'm running 57 Miles in August – to grant these children wishes before it's too late. Make-A-Wish® UK grant transformational wishes for the thousands of critically ill children across the UK. Sadly, the number of wish enquiries from seriously ill children with less than a year to live is rising fast. They need help to meet this urgent demand now - before it’s too late. For families with critically ill children, every day counts. Our support has the power to make a wish come true for a critically ill child, allowing families to create lasting memories that they will treasure forever – no matter what the future holds.
