Wish stories

Purple Heart Wishes granted a wish for my husband Mike; a day on a yacht for our family! Wow - what a day it was. We got to experience a whole day of sailing.

The boys loved helping with jobs around the yacht and basically sailed the yacht the whole time. Mike and I also had a go at steering which was brilliant.

We anchored up for lunch and Mike and the boys went for a quick swim, it was freezing but they loved it. The skipper Lou was absolutely brilliant, she had so much knowledge and gave us a magical experience and a memory we will treasure. Thank you Purple Heart Wishes for arranging such a wonderful wish for us.

Just before my 40th birthday, I was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer — right as we were meant to take our three boys on our dream ski trip. Purple Heart Wishes made that dream possible.

They were so patient and understanding, organising everything when I felt overwhelmed and unable to plan. We had a magical ski experience at Chill Factore, where the staff were incredibly kind, and an unforgettable stay at Hotel Football — a dream for our young football fans. The boys loved every moment, especially playing rooftop football.

Thank you for giving us precious time together and memories we will carry forever.

Thanks so much to Purple Heart Wishes for giving us an amazing day out at Harry Potter World this week.

Since my diagnosis we haven't been able to do much as a family and it was just so wonderful to be able to do something that we all loved so much, all being big Harry Potter fans! We had lots of smiles and fun, took lots of pictures and made some fantastic memories that my son and husband will be able to treasure for many years. Normally we couldn't afford a day out like this either, so we're really grateful to have had the opportunity to have such an amazing treat! Thanks so much again!!

All the best, Claire
