Piper-Mae, 7, cerebral palsy GMFCS V, global developmental delay, epilepsy, 'I wish to go on a holiday and see lots of animals both on land and in the sea'.

Pip's fighting spirit

Despite constant hospital visits, exhausting therapies, and the frustration of not being able to communicate how she feels, Pip keeps pushing forward. She finds joy in her own way through touch, laughter, and connection, and brings happiness to everyone around her.

Her wish didn’t just give her a break from the challenges of illness; it celebrated her unstoppable spirit, creating moments of pure joy that showed just how much life there is beyond her condition.

When a child is living with a critical illness, it often means there are lots of things they can’t do. But a wish flips the script. It’s all about what a child can do. And it helps them feel like they can do anything, because a wish is as big as their imagination.

A wish is so much more than just a moment

Pip's wish was much more than a road trip to Queensland with Mum and Dad for a joyful animal adventure. It was a life-changing experience, filled with laughter, connection and unforgettable firsts. For a family who had never been able to take a holiday, it was more than a break—it was an opportunity to build memories away from the difficulty of everyday life.
