There are lots of children, like Hamish, that have had a tough start in life due to life limiting and terminal conditions. H had been through endless lengthy hospital stays, 13 surgeries, being tube fed since the age of 2, dialysis, his kidney transplant, more medication in a year than most people need for a lifetime,  constant blood tests (at one point every day) and so much interruption to what should be his happy childhood. He’s not alone. So many children go through what he does, the strongest little warriors fighting just to get the chance to grow up.

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!
