Each year, thousands of Canadian children between the ages of three and 17 are diagnosed with a life-threatening illness. The Children''s Wish Foundation of Canada is dedicated to granting an exceptional wish to every child. Established in 1984, Children''s Wish is a national non-profit organization dedicated to fulfilling a favourite wish for children diagnosed with life-threatening illnesses. Since its inception 25 years ago, Children''s Wish has granted more than 16,000 wishes for children and their families and fulfills approximately 900 wishes annually -- granting nearly three wishes everyday -- each being an individual adventure, carefully structured to meet the needs of that particular child. The foundation has never refused a wish to an eligible child.
