Ari's Fun-filled Wish
From non-stop high-speed adventures, to going up in a helicopter, to having epic snowball fights, Ari and his family experienced true heights of happiness at Mt Hotham.
“We had an incredible time. No one in the family had been up in a helicopter before, so that was special. And there was no shortage of thrills. He tore down the slopes in his ‘sit ski’, shrieking and whooping – he was even doing jumps!" says Brita.
Children with a critical illness miss out on so much of their childhood. Spending endless hours in hospital, facing countless barriers, they go without so many thrills and smiles. But with your help, we can bring back grins and giggles with the gift of a wish this Christmas.
Gift A Wish This Christmas
All across Australia, sick kids have one thing at the top of their Christmas list. A wish!

The joy of a furry best friend.
The joy of a unicorn sighting.
The joy of wearing a superhero cape.
The joy of possibility.
You can create this joy by gifting a wish.
