Make-A-Wish® New Zealand

Make-A-Wish grants wishes to children between the ages of 3 and 17 who are living with a life threatening medical condition. Over 160 wishes are granted each year throughout New Zealand, that's around 3 per week.

Make-A-Wish can't promise a longer life or recovery but we offer comfort and encouragement that hopes, goals and experiences are still available. A wish can provide a positive, often once in a lifetime experience, for the child and their family.

The promise of a wish can have a remarkable effect on a sick child and has enormous impact on everyone close to them. A wish gives a child something to look forward to through their many months of treatment. Granting the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions is a real privilege and a very special journey for everyone involved.

Sanitarium together with Make-A-Wish is so very excited to present opportunities for Weet-Bix Tryathlon kids to not only participate in a great personal sporting achievement but also to help make magic for Kiwi kids less fortunate than themselves.

Try for a Wish is all about kids giving it a go for Wish Kids, Sanitarium Weet-Bix Tryathlon participants will be seeking sponsorship from friends, neighbours and their families. Not just to achieve their own personal best but, in doing so, to help to make dreams come true for kids with life-threatening medical conditions in their local community.
