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. 

Leona from San Marcos at the age of 6 began chemotherapy treatments last summer after being diagnosed with leukemia, but it didn’t stop her from dreaming of great adventures.  Known for her “feisty” spirit, Leona braved her illness with a take-no-prisoners attitude.

On a family trip to her favorite theme park, Leona became spellbound with the allure of pirates. When asked what her best day ever would be, she envisioned a life-size pirate ship playhouse in her very own backyard.

Leona’s wish was more than just a playhouse… it represented an escape for a child battling cancer. It provided peace of mind for her family dealing with the restrictions of her rigorous treatment. It will serve as a beacon of hope and strength for a brave little girl and her family for years to come. 

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