Why I'm Walking for Make A Wish Australia
In April, I’ll be taking part in a fundraising walk for Make-A-Wish Australia—an organisation that means more to my family than words can fully capture.
In 2018, my daughter was diagnosed with lymphoma. She was just five years old.
What followed were five long months in hospital. Months filled with uncertainty, fear, and the kind of strength no child should ever have to find so early in life. As a parent, it’s impossible to describe what it feels like to watch your child go through that, to want to take it all away, and not be able to.
But within that incredibly difficult time, there were also moments of kindness, support, and light, and Make-A-Wish became part of that light.
In 2019, after everything she had been through, her wish was granted.
She wished to see snow.
As a family, we travelled to Mt Hotham, her, her brother, her dad and I, and for a little while, life felt normal again. Actually, more than normal, it felt magical. Watching her experience snow for the first time, seeing her smile, laugh, and just be a child again… it’s something I will never forget.
That trip wasn’t just a holiday. It was healing. It was hope. It was a reminder that joy still exists, even after the hardest seasons.
Today, she has been in remission for almost 8 years.
And now, I want to give back.
I’m walking to help Make-A-Wish continue creating those moments for other families, families who are right now sitting in hospital rooms, facing the unknown, and needing something to hold onto.
Every donation, no matter how small, helps bring light into someone else’s darkest time.
If you’re able to support, I would be incredibly grateful. And if not, simply sharing this means just as much.
Thank you for being part of something that truly changes lives.
I'm taking on Walk for Wish Kids because...
I’ve joined Walk for Wish Kids to raise funds that help grant life‑changing wishes for seriously ill children across Australia.
Our team is walking to bring hope, joy and inspiration to kids who need it most. Right now, more than 900 children are waiting for their wish to come true.
Together, we can make a lasting impact and help them believe anything is possible.
Thank you.
