world wish day

As many of you are probably aware there was a bit of a Royal bash on today in Merry Ole England!
what you didn't have you been living under a rock on Mars for the last three months?

well never the less something I bet you didn't know was today is world wish day and international day, in which sick children's wishes are recognised and hopefully achieved by Make-A-Wish foundation International!

Everyday Make-A-Wish foundation help sick children world wide to realise their dreams but today is special as events worldwide will take place to help raise money for Make-A-wish to help even more children's dream come true.
As most of you are probably aware, here at wishes are free we are trying to accomplish some life long ambitions of our own as well as raise money for Make-A-Wish foundation so they can continue their brilliant hard work. so if you have stories of your fund raising on this day or wish to share your dreams with us, feel free to do so just email wishesarefree@hotmail.co.uk

To commemorate world wish day I am going to tick off another item from the list make 1000 origami cranes, the crane is a symbol of love loyalty and peace and legend has it that anybody who makes 1000 cranes will be either granted a wish or they can pass the cranes to a sick relative to heal them or a couple getting married to wish them many years of happiness.
so I am going to make the cranes and wish for prosperity with the list to raise money for
Make-A-Wish.

will update when i have completed them and fingers crossed my wish will come true! i shall also post photograph's so that you can make your own.

happy world wish day everybody :)

supporting make a wish foundation

Make-A-Wish foundation is an orgainsiation that was set up with the intention of giving seriously ill children the chance to dream,everyone has a dream but for alot of these youngsters forfilling a life long ambition is normally the last thing on their mind so being able to give them the gift of thier dream and enabling them to smile again is just something words cannot and shouldnot describe! And that is exactly why i have chosen to forfil some of my ambitions to raise money to help these kids wishes come true; so i bet your asking "what difference can my donation make? "

  • £10 will buy a child's lunch for a speacial trip to london

  • £20 buy's a sparkly tiara for a little princess

  • £50 buy's a uniform for little wannna be soldiers, police officers, firefighters etc.

  • £100 buy's a eurostar ticket for a speacial trip to paris

  • £150 will pay for a mini tuxedo for a little boy wishing to be james bond for a day

  • £200 helps pay to make a splash for a child wishing to swim with dolphins in florida

  • £350 get's a man-u fan into old trafford for VIP hospitality and to see manchester united play

  • £1000 buy's a child and their family accomidation at disney land resort paris

these are just a few of the wishes asked for and granted, this year alone make a wish foundation will have 1200 children refured to them to help grant their wishes and make a wish want to help each one of them! but they need help and i want to help take some of that burden away! so help me to raise my target and help these kids dreams come true!

learning to juggle


an item on my list is to learn to juggle, some people may ask why - well to me it just seems like a great skill to have and looks like fun to be able to do. others may say it's a bit of a useless skill to have - well that maybe be so but it doesn't change the fact it's on my list and i aim to complete it plus who knows one day i may need it, aliens may attack and the only way to save the world is to juggle we would all be doomed if this wasn't complete, OK maybe not but i still aim to do it!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCt1bmSASCI follow the instructions in this video and see if you can do it too!
as juggling is all about timing, dexterity, co ordination and a little bit of rhythm as a drummer i should find this relatively simple however i do not i only need to complete the last step as once i have done that i will be back at the beginning and you just continue the loop to juggle but for what ever reason i just don't find this easy so i guess practise is the key here!
wish me luck and hopefully in a few weeks i can post my own video here of me juggling and finnaly tick it off the list
