Welcome to Make-A-Wish Foundation® UK
Make-A-Wish grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses.
At any given time, over 20,000 children in the UK are living with life-threatening conditions. In 2010, around 1,000 children will turn to us to have their special wish granted.
"I ran out of words about one day into the holiday to describe this whole experience and to put into words how amazing it all was.
You made one little boy feel very special."
