Make-A-Wish NZ grant around 200 wishes every year, but sadly this doesn’t cover all of the several hundred children who are diagnosed with critical illnesses annually.

I'm inspired by the work of Make-A-Wish New Zealand and wanted to support them by raising money as part of my participation in Walking for Wishes: Great Wall of China 2019.

Please help me help reach these 200 children with critical illnesses who are patiently waiting to experience the transformational effect of having their one true wish fulfilled.

Help them by going here:

walking-for-wishes2019.everydayhero.com...

and giving whatever you can using the 'Give Now' button.

The more people that know about Make-A-Wish New Zealand, the greater their impact, so please also spread the word by sharing my page with your friends and family. Thank you in advance for your generosity, it means a lot!
