Why run for us in the Great North Run?

By supporting Make-A-Wish UK and becoming a #WishHero in the Great North Run 2024, you'll be transforming lives for children like Harrison from Newcastle. He wished to have a gaming PC so that he could learn a new skill independently - all made possible because of #WishHeroes like you.

Harrison's wish

7 years old

Newcastle-under-Lyme

"I wish to have a gaming PC"

Being independent is something all children long for growing up, but for Harrison it’s taking more than most to get there. His wish to have a gaming PC puts him one step closer.

Read about Harrison's wish

"It’s lovely to watch him doing something he really enjoys and building confidence in himself. It allows Harrison to enjoy something like any other little boy regardless of his disability."

Lydia, Harrison's Mum
