How it works
Joining Team Wish
Got your place? Great! You can now officially join Team Wish by creating your fundraising page. It's easy to do and only takes a couple of minutes to set up.
Personalise your fundraising page with your story of why you're taking on the challenge. Then share it with friends and family, collect donations and help make wishes come true. Every dollar counts!
Make your way to Rond Terrace, Parkes for the big event on 3 November 2024. Give it your best, and know that wherever you place, you're part of the team making wishes come true for sick kids across the country.
I don’t think people realise how important wishes are for kids. They are going through hell and it gives them a distraction and something to look forward to.
