ON behalf of Make-A-Wish Foundation UK I would like to thank all who supported the charity in 2002.

Their generosity enabled many more children in the North West to realise a very special wish and provided magical memories for all the family.

The purpose of Make-A-Wish is simple: To grant the wishes of children aged three to 18 living with life-threatening illnesses.

For information on the charity or how to become a volunteer, please contact me.
