The drive to realize more dreams this year has started for the Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada. The organization’s annual Wish-A-Thon started recently and goes until December 23. It gives kids with a life-threatening illness a chance to turn their wishes into reality. Manager of Community Development, Michelle Taylor, says it’s a busy time. She says, “We have over 1,800 wishes waiting right now for various reasons; whether the children are in treatment, whether they haven’t chosen what kind of wish they want yet and out of those, approximately 100 of them will happen in the month of December.” The Wish-A-Thon raised $25,000 in 2013. Taylor says they are hoping to double that this year. The Foundation has granted more than 21,000 wishes to children since 1984. To make a donation, head to http://www.wishathon.ca/ .
