Story

Wish support terminally ill children and their families to create special memories at a very difficult time for the children and their families.

Over the last few years I have organised several events including fundraising dinners as well as participating in events such as the London Marathon to raise funds for this amazing cause.

I am proud through the generosity and support of friends and family we have managed to send over 100 children and their families to Centre Parcs for a weekend just prior to Xmas. It typically costs £1000 per family to support this initiative.

For most this is the last time holiday they will have has a family so very special memories are created at a very difficult time.

The link attached gives further detail on the great work the charity does and some of the amazing children they have supported - https://www.whenyouwishuponastar.org.uk/

So this year I am running the Chicago Marathon in October to help raise funds for this great cause - additionally I have also agreed to trek across the Arctic Circle in January 2025.

So with your help and support we can hopefully help many more children and their families - the training for Chicago has just started !

Thanks a million.
