The wish that inspired the Make-A-Wish movement 45 years ago
In 1980, a seven-year-old boy called Chris Greicius was being treated for leukaemia in America. He dreamed of becoming a police officer one day, so members of Chris' local community rallied round to make his wish come true – just days before he died.
He couldn't have known then that his wish would inspire the creation of the largest wish granting organisation in the world. But this one act of kindness and community action sparked an idea. The Make-A-Wish Foundation was born!
Following Chris’s amazing day, the idea quickly spread and in 1986, Make-A-Wish UK was established by a group of six volunteers. We’re now one of many affiliates in nearly 50 countries and we celebrate that first wish on "World Wish Day" on April 29th every year.
Challenge 45
To celebrate World Wish Day, this April we are challenging you to help us grant more wishes across the UK for critically ill children, using the number 45 to set yourself a challenge!
Run, walk or jog 45 miles during the month of April
Running not your thing? You could cycle the 45 miles instead!
Take part with friends or family to help grant wishes together
Getting active not your thing? No problem at all, you can still support Make-A-Wish this world wish month! You could bake 45 cupcakes and sell at work or school, host a 45 minute quiz or split into groups/teams at work or school and challenge yourselves to raise £45 each!
