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.

In the words of Patch Adams (at least from the movie) you treat a disease, you win or you lose... you treat the person,  I guarantee you'll win every time... bringing joy to children with critical illnesses, who may not survive, brings joy to their families, and the wish giver too. It's a beautiful thing to give someone who may be suffering, some joy to relieve them of that suffering even if for a short time, and to give them a memory that can never be taken from them or their families. 

I'm raising money also,  in honor of my dear friend, April Bupp, who volunteered with MAW in the US, and shared so many of these stories over the years, until her own cancer dx, which she continues to fight... April, this is for you, my friend... APRIL'S ARMY STRONG!!!
