Every day around 57 children in the UK are diagnosed with a critical illness which is why I'm running 57 Miles in August – to grant these children wishes before it's too late.Make-A-Wish® UK grant transformational wishes for the thousands of critically ill children across the UK. Sadly, the number of wish enquiries from seriously ill children with less than a year to live is rising fast. They need help to meet this urgent demand now - before it’s too late. For families with critically ill children, every day counts. Our support has the power to make a wish come true for a critically ill child, allowing families to create lasting memories that they will treasure forever – no matter what the future holds.

We had our little boys wish made by Make A Wish. Paul wanted to go and meet the Liverpool football team and watch a game. His wish was granted and we have the most beautiful memories of him enjoying what he loved most. We will treasure that forever. Sadly Paul did pass away but the happy memories stayed.
