Why run for Team Wish?
Wish kids need stars like you!
Right now more than 900 critically ill children are waiting for their wish.
When you TEAM UP with Make-A-Wish, you can help bring more life-changing wishes to life. Make a lasting impact to seriously ill kids and their families across Australia by signing up today!
I don’t think people realise how important wishes are for kids. They are going through hell and it gives them a distraction and something to look forward to.
