As we move into March, we’re bringing you some heart-warming stories that are guaranteed to brighten up your day! From Tiara’s wish for a bedroom makeover to the re-starting of wish visits, 2021 is already filling us with positivity!
Tiara’s Princess Bedroom Makeover
Four-year-old Tiara, from Llanelli in Wales, has never had her own room before.
Tiara was diagnosed with Marfan syndrome and so for her safety, her family all share one bedroom. But a princess needs her space and somewhere to hang all those dresses.
With the help of Kinderoo Childrens Interior, Make-A-Wish UK had the pleasure of granting her unique wish – ‘to have a princess bedroom makeover’.Read Tiara’s story
How We Talk About Cancer
Amelia, 19, wishes to give a TEDx talk about the language we use when talking about a cancer diagnosis. In particular, the words ‘fighting’ and ‘battle’.
On #WorldCancerDay (4th February 2021), we invited her to lead the conversation over on our Instagram account. She also wrote a guest blog post, which explains how her diagnosis influenced her choice of wish. Read Amelia’s guest blogCatch up with the Instagram Takeover
Good News!
Coronavirus stopped wish visits in their tracks last March, leaving nearly 100 seriously ill children waiting to discuss their once in a lifetime wish. But we’re pleased to announce that our volunteer Wish Visitors can now carry out those visits safely again – via video call.
Lynn is just one of those volunteers. Thanks to her support, other children whose wishes are waiting will now start moving along their wish journey.
Charlie’s Superhero sprints raise over £700!
To help grant wishes, Charlie (5) is running 500m everyday in February, dressed as a different superhero. Soaring above his target of £500, he is already up to an amazing £790.
We’d like to thank Charlie for being committed to helping other children. He’s the best kind of superhero, a #WishHero!Check out his costumes
