My Story

In April 2026 Polly is taking on the ultimate challenge of running her first (and possibly only) marathon and what better place to do this but the iconic London Marathon!

This challenge won't be a solo challenge her husband John with be by her side from start to finish. 

Your support along this journey would mean the world to us and allow Make-A-Wish to continue their amazing work. 🫶🏻

Right now over 134,000 children in the UK are eligible for a wish because they are dealing with the grueling daily reality of life with a critical illness. When it comes to their dreams, they deserve to wish for more than a life defined by their illness.

Critical illness brings a child’s joy to an abrupt end but Make-A-Wish UK is part of a global movement that grants life-changing wishes that have the power to turn tears into cheers, rescuing the magic of childhood even in their toughest times and providing a lifeline for families to spend precious time together. 🫶🏻
