Close Your Eyes, Make a Wish

I want to take a moment to write a note about something rather different in nature from my usual posts. Today I came across the charity RTCW - Round Table Children's Wish. Its aim is to fulfil the wishes of children aged 4-17 inclusive who have life-threating illnesses. Wishes range from meeting football teams to going to Disneyland. Severe illness in anyone is a horrid thing but in children it takes on an extra dimension because it seems so acutely unfair. These are people who have not only got too little time on this earth but also who have not even had the chance to take ownership of their lives, to fail or succeed at anything, to make a life choice. If the one choice they can make is to pick a wish then I want to help them do that. Find out more information about the RTCW on its website here.
