Michael and Bradley’s Kosciuszko Climb

By Michael Ponticello

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.

UPDATE - THANK YOU

Hi all, we just wanted to jump on here and extend a massive thank you to everyone who has donated to and shared our page so far.

We've already hit over 60% of our original $10,000 goal (in less than 2 weeks) and that is thanks to YOUR generosity.

The job isn't done yet though. Let's keep going and get that number all the way up to 10k by the start of November!!

The Context To Our 2,228m Climb

Hi everyone, Mini Rabs here.

Brad and I will be climbing Mount Kosciuszko to raise money for Make-A-Wish Australia.

I - myself am a foundation ambassador and also former wish child.

We both acknowledge the amazing work that this foundation does.

We're asking everyone to dig deep and support us on what will be a tough ascent to Australia's highest point.

A special thanks to Blooms The Chemist for helping us launch this initiative at their annual charity golf day.
