Watch Quinn's Wish to Fly with a Unicorn
When she wished to fly with a unicorn in the sky, we set out to make it happen — with the help of an incredible community of unicorn believers!
From discovering the magical unicorn planet at Sydney Observatory to soaring over Sydney Harbour on a Unicorn Patrol, and finally meeting Snowy the unicorn and Queen Rainbow herself, Quinn’s wish was filled with so many joyful moments.
Inspirational news and stories
Make the impossible, possible
We’ve made unicorns fly, sent kids to the moon and, together with our #WishForce, we’re on a mission to grant a wish for every eligible child.
Wishes have a remarkable, uplifting and positive impact that extends far beyond the wish itself.
