WIsh Kid Finlay

“I wish to have the ultimate Pokémon Adventure.”

Finlay, 6, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia

Do it for kids like Finlay.

This festive season, turn fun into real hope for seriously ill children across Australia.

Right now, 18,000 children are living with a life-threatening condition or illness in Australia. Make-A-Wish is on a mission to make a wish come true for every eligible child.

At six years old, Finlay was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia. His wish was bold and full of adventure:
“I wish to have the ultimate Pokémon Adventure.”

Finlay’s wish gave him something exciting to focus on beyond hospital visits and treatment — a chance to explore, imagine and make memories with the people he loves most.

By fundraising this festive season, you’ll help bring strength, joy and unforgettable wish moments to children facing critical illness.
