We grant life-changing wishes to children with critical illnesses.

Story

Newbridge to Reading in 3 days, 100 km. I've cycled in the past but have only ever been in a canoe long enough to splash other people. This challenge will be exactly that, I huge undertaking that will really challenge my stamina and mental focus. That being said, this is nothing compared to the stamina these children show everyday fighting critical illness. I think this is a wonderful charity that provides joy to those that really need it most. I know their work makes an incredible difference by making dreams a reality, not only for those suffering from illness but the people who support them. To be able to raise money towards such a unique, special charity, will be the thought that hopefully carries me across the water. Please give what you can, every contribution matters. 

Make-A-Wish® UK creates life-changing wishes that revive the childhood that critical illness takes away, bringing light and joy at the darkest of times for a child and their loved ones. But right now, there are 60,000 children in the UK living with a critical condition, and they don’t have the resources to be that light for everyone. Your generous support will help them step closer to achieving their vision: to grant a wish to every eligible child. Together, we have the power to light up the darkness.
