All aboard Hunter's wish!
After surviving a stroke at just three years old, Hunter had to relearn how to walk, talk, and even smile. But through it all, his spirit never dimmed.
Hunter's wish for a train-themed holiday across Australia came true thanks to generous supporters like you. His wish experience included visiting his cousins in Western Australia and riding the historic Hotham Valley Railway through the forest.
His wish wasn’t just a break from treatment; it was an escape to reconnect with family and a chance to rediscover the world with newfound hope.
Thanks to generous supporters like you, Hunter’s wish brought him joy, excitement, and the freedom to simply be a kid again.
My wish experience gave me hope, but most importantly, the will to live… It made me realise that I shouldn't give up, or stop moving forward.
