Make-A-Wish UK grant magical wishes to enrich the lives of children and young people fighting life-threatening conditions. Granting their wish provides seriously ill children with hope for the future, strength to cope and resilience to fight their condition. They’re given quality time away from the daily realities of living with their condition and given the chance to make magical memories they can treasure forever – whatever their future may hold. We want to transform the lives of 1,000 children this year by granting their One True Wish!

After losing my son in 2007 I have done quite a bit of fundraising but I have always wanted to do a marathon. To be able to do this to raise money for children and also for parents to make amazing memories that they will treasure is a true blessing. I never got to create them memories with Ethan bit knowing i can help others keeps me going
