Story
My name is Teresa and I am 20 years old. I'm hoping to complete a skydive in October to raise money for this amazing charity.
Make A Wish Foundation UK is charity that "grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions." I could not think of a better charity to raise money for as it is so important for children to experience something they have always wished for during the hardest times in their life.
Wishes have been anything from becoming a princess for the day or meeting their favourite celebrity - a worth while cause!
I will be completing a tandem skydive to enable young people to experience amazing life-long wishes.
Any donations will be amazing and thank you in advance!
- 1,000th wish – Jessica, aged ten and from Grimsby, had her wish, to meet the Beast from Beauty and the Beast, granted at a very special occasion – Make-A-Wish UK's 10th anniversary party. The huge Beast, as tall as the ceiling, entered the room carrying a red rose. He approached Jessica, who was dressed in her pretty yellow Beauty dress, and invited her onto the dance floor. There wasn't a dry eye in the room!
- 5,000th wish – ten year old Ciara from Wigan, living with a brain tumour, had her wish granted in August 2008 when she was a model for the day in London.
- 8,000th wish – 15 year old Mischka, who lives with cancer, lost her hair due to her treatment and was bullied at school as a result, causing her to lose confidence. We granted her wish for a confidence-boosting makeover day with Nicky Hambleton-Jones, and she really enjoyed the chance to look and feel great again.
