Make-A-Wish grants magical wishes to children and young people fighting life-threatening illnesses. Make-A-Wish was founded in the UK in June 1986 and, since then, they have granted over 4,700 wishes. At any given time, over 20,000 children in the UK are living with life-threatening conditions and their aim is to grant 21 wishes a week by the year 2010. Whether a wish is to be a princess or a policeman for a day, own the latest computer equipment, meet a favorite celebrity, or just enjoy some special time away from home with their family, a wish come true brings so much to a child's life and provides memories for the family that last a lifetime.
Make-A-Wish has become the largest wish-granting organization in the world and can be found in 28 countries on five continents. Make-A-Wish International serves children outside the United States, while the Make-A-Wish Foundation of America serves children within the United States. Both organizations have granted more than 187,000 wishes around the world since 1980.
