🐧 Sebby's Penguin Wish! 🐧 Sebby, 7, who has been battling a brain tumour, has been obsessed with penguins for as long as he can remember. For his wish, he got to see them in real life! Sebby and his family travelled to Melbourne and then to Phillip Island, where they had an action packed adventure! Visiting Sea Life Melbourne to see the Emperor Penguins, exploring Legoland, shopping at Chadstone, going mini-golfing and go-karting, spotting playful seals, and enjoying fish & chips on the beach. They also visited Churchill Island to see the gardens and highland cows, and the Koala Conservation Reserve, before finishing the trip with the incredible Penguin Parade at Phillip Island where thousands of Penguins come out of the water every day at sunset and back to their burrows for the night. The perfect end to a fun-filled trip! Sebby’s mum said: “It was an incredible experience, one we will never forget. We all fell in love with the penguins! He absolutely loved them.” Thanks to your support, wishes like Sebby’s can come true. Please donate at makeawish.org.au/donate #MakeAWish #Penguins #PhillipIsland

Make-A-Wish® Australia creates inspirational, life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses.
About us
Make-A-Wish® Australia creates life-changing wishes for children with critical illnesses. Our mission is to grant the wish of every eligible child – a quest sparked by the belief that a wish is integral to a child’s treatment. We work in partnership with sick children, their families and medical teams to design and deliver wish experiences that are as unique as the children who imagine them. No two wishes are alike, from the simple to the seemingly impossible – we’ve made unicorns fly, sent kids to the moon and even helped Australia’s youngest ever cricket captain don the baggy green. Wishes transform the lives of sick kids, their families and communities. Research shows that wishes work to complement medical treatment, helping to calm, distract and empower sick kids at the time they need it most. When a wish is realised, a child discovers that despite their situation, anything is possible. Make-A-Wish is one of Australia’s most trusted charities and part of largest wish-granting organisation in the world. As a registered Australian charity, we rely completely on the generosity of our volunteers, partners, donors and supporters to make the impossible possible for seriously ill children in Australia.

💙 Aria’s wish to finally meet her cousin Bentley came true 💙 Eight-year-old Aria’s wish was to travel to Queensland to meet her cousin Bentley. The two have been best friends online since they were born, and she couldn’t wait to finally see him in person. We made Aria’s wish come true with a special trip to the Sunshine Coast, where she and her family visited Bluey’s World, explored Australia Zoo, and even met a friendly tortoise. 🐢 Aria and Bentley spent the week laughing, dancing and having the best time together. Her mum told us that Aria “had the best time” and now wants to move to Queensland to live closer to Bentley! This is certainly a wish come true that’s turned into a beautiful family bond. 💙 Thank you to our donors for making wishes like Aria’s come true.

💙✨WISH COME TRUE FOR LEO! 💙✨ Four-year-old Leo, who has complex congenital heart disease, wished “to have a fun holiday and meet my favourite characters.” From the moment he opened his wish pack, Leo knew exactly what he wanted, to visit Bluey’s World and meet, dance and sing with Bluey and Bingo! 🐾💃🏻 He also couldn’t wait to meet his other favourite character, Marshall from Paw Patrol -and that’s exactly what he did at Sea World! After a tough surgery just weeks before his wish, Leo amazed everyone, walking around excitedly all on his own and refusing to use his pram Mum said she couldn’t believe his energy and joy throughout the whole trip! Best of all, Leo celebrated his birthday at Bluey’s World – making it the most unforgettable day ever! 🎂🎉🥳 A huge THANK YOU to everyone who donates to help make wishes like Leo’s come true!

Mason, 10, had one very clear wish: “To go to the biggest WWE event in Australia and meet my idol, John Cena.” 💪✨ This week in Perth, that wish came true! Mason not only attended the WWE Crown Jewel event, but also met John Cena himself, the superstar he’s admired for years! Fun fact: John Cena holds the world record for granting the most Make-A-Wish wishes in history, with over 650+ wishes granted to children around the world. 🙌 We’re incredibly grateful to the WWE and WWE Australia for helping bring Mason’s wish to life in such an unforgettable way. 💙 #MakeAWishAustralia #JohnCena #WWECrownJewel #WWEAustralia
