Goal

Make-A-Wish® creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.  A wish gives children renewed energy and strength, brings families closer together and unites communities.  Since 1980, Make-A-Wish has granted more than 285,000 wishes to children in the U.S. and its territories; more than 15,300 in 2016 alone.

12 yr old Cindy loves listening to music and dancing.  While undergoing treatment for embryonal sarcoma of the liver, which included a liver transplant, she continued to listen to music to relax even when she didn’t have the energy to dance.  Her medical team at Texas Children’s Hospital referred her to receive a wish and when her wish granters asked for her one true wish, she knew she wanted to go on a shopping spree for an Xbox to play dance games with her best friends who supported her during her long hospital stays and keep her focused on enjoying each new day.

Together as a running community, we have the power to transform lives, just like Cindy's, one wish at time.

About Make-A-Wish®
Make-A-Wish®

Make-A-Wish grants the wishes of children with critical illnesses to enrich the human experience with hope, strength and joy. According to a 2011 U.S. study of wish impact, most health professionals surveyed believe a wish-come-true has positive impacts on the health of children. Kids say wishes give them renewed strength to fight their illness, and their parents say these experiences help strengthen the entire family. Headquartered in Phoenix, Make-A-Wish is one of the world's leading children's charities, serving children in every community in the United States and its territories. With the help of generous donors and more than 33,000 volunteers, Make-A-Wish grants a wish somewhere in the country every 34 minutes. It has granted more than 285,000 wishes since its inception in 1980; more than 15,300 in 2016 alone. Visit Make-A-Wish at www.wish.org to learn more.
