Story

Do you get a warm and fuzzy feeling when you give someone a helping hand? Or, when you make someone smile? How about helping someone make a beautiful memory they will never forget?

Finley Williams, The Mighty Fin, is a 16 year old, special needs child that LOVES life! I'm Paul, and the Mighty Fin's Dad. He is my son and my Hero and together we want to raise as much money as possible to grant magical wishes to children and their families that deserve to make 'beautiful memories' together.

Fin has a rare syndrome called Mowat-Wilson Syndrome and Hirshsprungs Disease but he gives joy to thousands via his Facebook Page 'The Mighty Fin's I Have No Voice Page': https://www.facebook.com/themightfinfin/

Nothing makes Fin happier than watching his favourite football team, Brighton & Hove Albion, play live. However, we live in North Wales which means a 600 mile, 12 hour round trip!!!

Taking any child to watch their favourite team play, to see their sporting idols up close and personal is an amazing experience for millions of parents across the world. This applies to trips to the theatre, live music gigs and many other favourite interests too.

The Mighty Fin comes alive during our trips. Every second is a moment to savour for me. I will probably outlive my son and so making beautiful memories is very important to me.

We want as many people as possible to have the opportunity to create as many beautiful memories with their lovely children too! Many people can't afford to do that, so that is where Make-A-Wish UK comes in.

If you can spare a few pounds to donate to the fantastic Make A Wish Foundation UK, you can make that happen.

You can feel that lovely warm glow that comes from helping to make a very special memory for someone that really deserves it. £2500 is the average value of a 'wish' granted. Our target is for just 3 wishes to be granted but wouldn't it be amazing if we could do even more?!

Please help if you can, and thank you for creating beautiful memories with us, and Make-A-Wish UK.
