About This Project


King of the Raceway drives home the healing power of a wish


Just four years old, from Blackburn in Victoria, Nick loves his planes, trains & automobiles! But since being diagnosed with Batten Disease, a rare genetic disorder, he has been slowly losing his eyesight, ability to walk, and ability to communicate. So
hearing the roar, smelling burnt rubber and feeling the rumble of loud, thumping engines brings squeals of pure joy to this bubbly little boy.


Please, pledge now, and help grant Nick’s cherished wish to be ‘King of the Raceway’ and experience an incredible fast lap around Sandown Raceway. His wish will give him so much joy and strength, to help
him continue to fight this disease.

Make-A-Wish Australia has made over 8,000 unique wishes come true for seriously ill children across Australia since 1985. 




As we receive no government funding, this has all been possible thanks to generous support from individuals like you. 



In recognising our 30 years of granting cherished wishes in Australia, we want to bring the healing power of a wish to as many seriously-ill children as possible. With your help, we can ensure that we can continue to give hope, strength and joy to children
just like those featured here. Your support will make a powerful and important difference in a sick child’s life.


As these children battle their life-threatening illness, they build resilience through the hope, strength and joy their incredible wish inspires, which if not for you, cannot be made possible.

Use Of Funds

$5,400 Tipping Point Goal




Will you be part of this life-changing wish?


 


When we reach our tipping point:


Each wish is inspired by the imagination of the individual child, so they are unique. The tipping point will allow us to cover the costs of the individual components of the child’s wish. Costs such as travel, products, services and more to ensure the wish
is delivered as imagined by the child.  


Make-A-Wish is able to continue granting wishes thanks to incredible support from our wonderful volunteers and the generosity of our local communities and business partners, as well as the many generous individual supporters, like you.





When we reach our funding goal:


Reaching our ultimate goal will ensure that we can cover all costs involved in granting this wish so we can continue to grant more wishes, with our goal to be able to grant 2000 wishes a year ensuring every eligible child can experience the healing power
of a wish come true. 


The ultimate goal amount is the total cost of delivering the whole wish journey for the child.  This includes understanding the child’s true wish, designing the wish, building anticipation and excitement in the lead up to the wish coming true – and of course,
making the wish itself come true.  The ultimate goal amount considers all related wish costs like training and supporting our valuable Volunteer network who help capture our wishes.  And any costs incurred during the process to ensure every wish journey is
unique and designed specifically for the child to deliver maximum hope, strength, joy and ultimately deliver a therapeutic outcome.


Make-A-Wish is working toward granting 2,000 wishes each year, to ensure every child battling a life-threatening illness can experience the healing power of a wish.
