My target 38 kms

Thank you for visiting my Make-A-Wish® Australia fundraising page.

Can you help me bring more inspirational wishes to life for hundreds of seriously ill children across Australia?

Your support to Make-A-Wish will make a world of difference to hundreds of Australian kids with critical illnesses. From the simple to the seemingly impossible, wishes complement medical treatment, working to calm, distract and empower sick children when they need it most. When a wish is realised, a child discovers that despite their situation, anything is possible.

With every donation, we are one step closer to granting a wish for every eligible child in Australia. Together we are giving sick kids hope, joy and inspiration through the power of a wish – thank you for your support!

All donations $2 or over are tax deductible.

Last run!

This morning I completed the last 5 kilometres of my Make-A-Wish challenge! I am very proud of myself, for having run 38km in a little over a week and having raised $1,621 along the way. I am also immensely grateful for all the donations and the support from Make-A-Wish. Thank you!

Run 3

Today was a tough run- the weather the real challenge. I pushed through though, and now there are 5 kilometres left to go!

Run 2

My run was longer today, I went along the bay to Brighton Beach. The weather was beautiful and perfect for a run. I was feeling great and decided to push myself- I have never run thirteen kilometres before! It is great to have broken passed my regular boundaries, because after all my goal was to challenge myself.

Run 1

Thanks for all the donations- I never even imagined I could reach this amount! It means a lot to me, and I am sure to Make-A-Wish, to see all these people showing their support for this amazing charity.

Today the challenge began and the first 8km have been run. The heat and wind was quite the struggle, but it was great knowing that it was all for a good cause. Now, it's time to rest my legs for the 30 more kms to go!

My Story

Hi all,

my name is Juline and I am a year 9 student at Caulfield Grammar School. This year, we have an in-school project called ‘the Community Project’, for which we try to help out our community. For my Community Project I am working with Make-A-Wish, a not-for-profit children's charity granting the wishes of children who are facing life-threatening illnesses. As part of my project, I am fundraising to help realise these wishes. I will be running 38 km in ten days for Make-A-Wish’s 38^thanniversary.

Why Make-A-Wish?

My mum worked at Make-A-Wish in 2018, which is when I discovered the charity and what they do. I got to know the organisation and to this day, it is mum’s job I am most proud of. It made the choice for my community project easy: I too wanted to work with this wonderful organisation!

Why running?

Running is one of my hobbies and something I enjoy doing. I chose to run ‘38km in ten days’ because Make-a-Wish is celebrating its 38^th birthday and also to challenge myself for a good cause – I’ve never ran that much in so little time! I’ll be running these ks during the last week and a bit of September, from the 18^th to the 28^th.

Where does my fundraising go?

The money I will raise will go towards empowering sick children when they need it most. Wishes work to calm and distract while the children go through with their medical treatment. When a wish is realised, a child discovers that despite their situation, anything is possible. Will you help me?

Your support in any amount of donations would mean a lot to me and Make-A-Wish.

Help me reach my $500 goal!
