Read about the amazing wishes your support has helped Make-A-Wish® Australia grant.

Meet Adrian...

Adrian loves reptiles. In fact he is fascinated by them, and most would agree this makes him one brave five-year-old. However in comparison to the battle he has courageously waged for close to two years, a scaly reptile seems like a walk in the park.

Read Adrian's story.

Meet Finn...

Six years of medical investigations and 11-year-old Finn’s condition remains undiagnosed. Despite the muscle-crippling impact of his condition, Finn is determined not to miss out on the sports and physical activities he loves.

Read Finn's story.

Meet Riley...

When little Riley was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia at the age of two, his interest in anything and everything to do with trains continued to grow.

Meet Cooper...

Only two days in to school holidays, when Cooper was five, he was diagnosed with Wilm's tumour. But the granting of his wish provided a positive ending to the difficult time he had endured during diagnosis and treatment.

Read Cooper's story.

Meet Jade...

While in hospital during treatment for leukaemia, Jade had a special visit from Hawthorn Football Club Coach, Alistair Clarkson and player, Sam Mitchell. This visit converted Jade to become a Hawthorn fan and was surprised to have her new favourite team assist in granting her wish.

Read Jade's story.

Meet Patrick...

At 19 years of age, Patrick had spent more time in hospital than out. Having his wish presented to him by a V8 Supercar Driver was just the inspiration he needed to get through treatment.

Meet Emily...

Emily is a successful young woman working in an exciting role. You would never guess what this young woman and her family have been through.

Meet Megan, Ellie and Jet...

Read Rex's story.

Meet Tyler...

Tyler was just two-years-old when he was diagnosed with rhabdomyosarcoma. He has a love of all things fish and orange, which was the inspiration behind his cherished wish. The wish also marked a great milestone for the Bundaberg Volunteer Branch.
