My Story…
Hi everybody- Thank you first and foremost for taking a few minutes to learn more about Make-A-Wish and contribute to our team's fundraising efforts!
The Make-A-Wish team in MA and RI consists of incredible people, constantly devoting their time and energy to try and put smiles on the faces of every kid with a critical illness; to date, this local chapter has granted over 10,000 wishes since inception in 1983! Make-A-Wish is one of the top two favored non-profits in the United States, and a direct cause for that is their attentiveness and prioritization of the kids and families they serve.
Being lucky enough to have a wish granted myself, I have seen the kindness and the generosity this organization provides to each and every family they work with. They were so receptive and energetic when asking about my ideas, detailed in their planning, and surpassed all expectations when it came time for our trip. I was able to meet heroes of mine, surf in an exotic location, and spend time with my family and just live my dream for a couple days. It was truly an unforgettable opportunity. Over the years my family and I have been involved in varying capacities with the team, sharing in their core values of always putting wish children first, just as that same treatment was shown to me when it was my time. Now is my opportunity to pay it forward.
I will be running in the 2024 Falmouth Road Race in August and raising money alongside this awesome team! Any donations directly on this page are greatly appreciated, as are any training tips to help make it to the big day!
Thank you for joining us in helping make more kids' wishes come true!
Description
Together, we create life-changing wish experiences for children with critical illnesses. Every year, approximately 500 Massachusetts and Rhode Island children are newly diagnosed with a serious illness and newly eligible for a wish. Our ultimate goal is to grant wishes for every medically eligible child in Massachusetts and Rhode Island.
