Your support during the summer months – when summer wishes are at an all-time high, yet fundraising slows down the most – means the world to us.

Thanks to you, countless children facing critical illnesses like Alby and Francesca can experience the life-changing happiness of a wish come true. As 450,000 kids wait on wishes, I'm so grateful to you for standing with us this summer and every season. Wishfully yours, Adam Faircloth.
