Wingwalk! · 17 June 2017
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am fundraising for When you wish upon a star as they made my sons wishes come true, and many of his friends in the process. Alot of memories were made and continue to be made for precious families. I am very excited to do the wing walk... though this doesn't mean I am not nervous. I still get that weird feeling in my feet when I think about standing on the plane as it takes off, flies around and lands. If i as much stand on a chair, I hang on for dear life! I did a skydive and imagine to to be likened to the freefall of that... unbelievably exciting though. No matter what nerves i will go through, that is nothing compared to what the children who when you wish upon a star support go through. If I can make just one more child and family smile through my fundraising, that is invaluable.
Wishes come directly from the child who is poorly and are varied and here is what my son had:
The summer of 2012 was the most amazing summer of his life. He had a special Mario wish birthday party with all his friends and family. There are not words which can describe what a special and amazing time this was. Music, lights, food, huge Mario cake, bubbles, balloons and balloons of Mario, chocolate fountain, giant jenga, mariokarts on a giant screen, Nutty Norman the magician and even Mario himself to name just a few, but most of all a room full of love and happiness for Mikey dudes 12th birthday. A few weeks later Mikey had a ride in a Ferrari.. yes a Ferrari. So very special. Then a few weeks after that, he met his hero... the "unbelievable" Chris Kamara, affectionately known as Kammy. Kammy was invited to Mikeys party but as he was away he came to see Mikey at home and spent hours in Mikeys back garden with him.. Throwing balls and space hoppers around.. Mikeys squeals of happiness were absolutely priceless. All this made possible by when you wish upon a star. Mikey wished upon a star, and his dreams came true and memories made forever for him, for me his mum and for all who love him.
Every penny counts towards making dreams come true for very poorly children. Memories are priceless.
