Luke’s Mission: Pushing Boundaries for Wishes!

By Luke Thompson

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.

Running For Dreams

In just a few months, I'll be attempting to set a Guinness World Record for the farthest lawn mower push in 24 hours. But this isn't just about breaking records, it's about breaking barriers to make dreams come true.

As a father of two and a passionate runner, Make-A-Wish holds a special place in my heart. This incredible charity grants wishes to children battling critical illnesses, providing them and their families with moments of joy and hope during tough times.

That's why I've decided to turn my Guinness World Record attempt into a fundraiser for Make-A-Wish. Every single step I take pushing that mower will be fuelled by the desire to raise awareness and funds for these brave kids. It's a chance to combine my love for running with a meaningful cause, showing my own children the power of perseverance and compassion.

I invite you to join me on this journey. Whether you cheer me on from the sidelines, donate to support Make-A-Wish, or simply share this story with others, your involvement will make a difference. 

Together, let's run for dreams and make sure every child gets a chance to experience the magic of a wish granted.

Together, we can go the distance for these incredible kids. Thank you for your support I couldn't do it without you!
