The impact of a wish
Only a select few get to take the court with the number one women’s tennis player in the world, Ash Barty.
And thanks to our amazing supporters on Team Wish, we could make sure Wish Child Paige, who lives with cystic fibrosis, was one of them.
Please join Team Wish at Melbourne Marathon Festival to help ensure every eligible Wish Child will have their wish granted.
Paige's dad Brian said, "This opportunity has changed my daughter's life and given her inspiration that she too can become an athlete."
