#WishHeroes of the Great North Run 2022
Campaign by Make-A-Wish Foundation UK (RCN (England & Wales) 295672 (Scotland) SC037479)
We have an incredible group of #WishHeroes who will be taking on the 2022 Great North Run. Together, we have the power to light up the darkness for critically ill children.

Story

It’s my turn to become a #wishhero - my aim this year is to smash my only other 1/2 marathon PB of 2:22 and break the 2 hour barrier! This is going to be a major achievement so I’ve enlisted someone who has done this before to help me achieve my goals (spoiler alert, it’s John!)

It would make me so happy to be able to support Make-A-Wish to grant more life changing wishes so please help me to make that wish come true

Love, Polly

Make-A-Wish® UK creates life-changing wishes that revive the childhood that critical illness takes away, bringing light and joy at the darkest of times for a child and their loved ones. But right now, there are 60,000 children in the UK living with a critical condition, and they don’t have the resources to be that light for everyone. Your generous support will help them step closer to achieving their vision: to grant a wish to every eligible child. Together, we have the power to light up the darkness.
