This year at When You Wish Upon a Star we are celebrating 30 years of granting magical Wishes to children with life threatening illnesses. 30 years of believing that every child deserves to smile, and creating magical memories that will last a lifetime for Wish children and their families. Every Wish brings happiness and joy in some of the most difficult of times, giving children and their families an escape from the stresses and worries of illness and medical appointments, and the chance to simply be a child again.

To celebrate, we are asking our supporters form far and wide to join The 30th Challenge! Join us in challenging yourself, whether it's 30 laps of your garden or a 30 second handstand, every challenge and every penny will help us to grant magical Wishes for some very courageous children.
