The make a wish foundation is truly a great charity. Its aim is to provide as many children who are terminally ill with their wish. Whether it be meeting a celebrity, going to disney land or being a cop for the day. However this is a charity and so heavily relies on donations and volunteers I do donate regularly. You can donate by buying bands from shops or donate online in two ways. There is an option to donate a one off payment or to donate £5 a month. Times are tough but donating £5 a month isnt going to exactly make your stocks and shares plummet now is it. You can find out more at http://www.make-a-wish.org.uk/fundraising/donate/?gclid=CLCen_v40rACFUUhtAodQnBn3A

How it all started
The Make-A-Wish Foundation was founded in 1980 after a little boy named Chris Greicius realized his heartfelt wish to become a police officer. Since its humble beginnings, the organization has blossomed into a worldwide phenomenon, reaching more than 250,000 children around the world.
Although it has become one of the world's most well-known charities, the Make-A-Wish Foundation has maintained the grassroots fulfillment of its mission.

A network of nearly 25,000 volunteers enable the Make-A-Wish Foundation to serve children with life-threatening medical conditions. Volunteers serve as wish granters, fundraisers, special events assistants and in numerous other capacities.
As the Foundation continues to mature, its mission will remain steadfast. Wish children of the past, present and future will have an opportunity to share the power of a wish®.
Since the foundation started it has granted over 200,000 wishes and continue to grant a wish every 38 minutes. To see a list of just some of the celebrities that support this charity click HERE
