supporting make a wish foundation

Make-A-Wish foundation is an orgainsiation that was set up with the intention of giving seriously ill children the chance to dream,everyone has a dream but for alot of these youngsters forfilling a life long ambition is normally the last thing on their mind so being able to give them the gift of thier dream and enabling them to smile again is just something words cannot and shouldnot describe! And that is exactly why i have chosen to forfil some of my ambitions to raise money to help these kids wishes come true; so i bet your asking "what difference can my donation make? "

  • £10 will buy a child's lunch for a speacial trip to london

  • £20 buy's a sparkly tiara for a little princess

  • £50 buy's a uniform for little wannna be soldiers, police officers, firefighters etc.

  • £100 buy's a eurostar ticket for a speacial trip to paris

  • £150 will pay for a mini tuxedo for a little boy wishing to be james bond for a day

  • £200 helps pay to make a splash for a child wishing to swim with dolphins in florida

  • £350 get's a man-u fan into old trafford for VIP hospitality and to see manchester united play

  • £1000 buy's a child and their family accomidation at disney land resort paris

these are just a few of the wishes asked for and granted, this year alone make a wish foundation will have 1200 children refured to them to help grant their wishes and make a wish want to help each one of them! but they need help and i want to help take some of that burden away! so help me to raise my target and help these kids dreams come true!


"but i don't have a £1,000" well that's ok every donation big or small helps, even if you just have £2 from that sndwhich you changed your mind about buying great send it to us it all adds up!

"can i help in any other way?" of course you can, you can help to organise an item on my list, you can 'like' our facebook page and get all your mate's to do the same, spread the word about this site, or offer any other support you can! feel free to email wishesarefree@hotmail.co.uk if you have any ideas


"i own a business can i help?" yes we now have rent a square this is where you can add your company logo's to a 20mm x 20mm square for just £3 pcm (min 4 month rental) or £30 anually 50% is donated directly to make a wish foundation 50% goes towards the list which in turn helps to rasie awareness and of course lot's of lovely money for make a wish foundation. another idea we hope to launch soon is t-shirt and merchandice so if you wish to add your logo or design to s tshirt we are offering 10% of each tshirt with your logo! then 10% goes towards make a wish foundation just email wishesarefree@hotmail.co.uk if any of this interests you!

"how do you fund this project?" it's kind of self funded and no im not rich, infact somedays i barely scrap by, the money from the rent a square initiative helps a great deal (well it would when it gets rolling) otherwise i pretty much rely on the generosity of others so thanks!

learning to juggle


an item on my list is to learn to juggle, some people may ask why - well to me it just seems like a great skill to have and looks like fun to be able to do. others may say it's a bit of a useless skill to have - well that maybe be so but it doesn't change the fact it's on my list and i aim to complete it plus who knows one day i may need it, aliens may attack and the only way to save the world is to juggle we would all be doomed if this wasn't complete, OK maybe not but i still aim to do it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCt1bmSASCI follow the instructions in this video and see if you can do it too!
as juggling is all about timing, dexterity, co ordination and a little bit of rhythm as a drummer i should find this relatively simple however i do not i only need to complete the last step as once i have done that i will be back at the beginning and you just continue the loop to juggle but for what ever reason i just don't find this easy so i guess practise is the key here!
wish me luck and hopefully in a few weeks i can post my own video here of me juggling and finnaly tick it off the list
