Together, we grant wishes that transform the lives of critically ill children
Every year in Switzerland, many children receive a diagnosis that changes their lives forever. The joy of childhood suddenly gives way to medical treatments and hospital nights.
A wish granted gives back this childhood stolen by illness. It brings light and joy, leaving a lasting imprint on the hearts of the entire family.
Our incredible volunteer Kathrin travels across Switzerland to spread the word about Make-A-Wish. Proudly wearing her Make-A-Wish T-shirt, she transforms each run into a symbol of hope for children with critical illnesses.
Here are the next races Kathrin will be participating in in 2025:
May 10 – Grand Prix de Berne + Run4Kids Kathrin will be accumulating kilometers for a good cause during this iconic race through the city of Bern.
15 June – Frauenlauf Bern A race dedicated to women and community spirit, in the heart of the capital.
11 October - Hallwilerseelauf
A half-marathon around Lake Hallwil, combining nature and solidarity.
Follow Kathrin's journey and be inspired to make a difference.
On May 10th, Matt will run the Geneva Marathon to grant wishes for children with critical illnesses! He needs your help to reach his fundraising goal.
Damien is a football fan… but above all a dedicated and inspiring young Wish Maker!

On May 25, Make-A-Wish will participate in the Race for Gift charity race in Geneva.
Join us, by walking or running, to grant the wishes of seriously ill children!
Your donation, whether one-off or regular, allows children to rediscover moments of joy stolen by illness.
Find out how to involve your company in the wishes process to give meaning to your actions.
Beyond the moments of happiness and fun they bring, wishes have a profound impact. They play a vital role in improving the health and well-being of seriously ill children and their families.
When faced with a serious illness, a child faces not only complex physical challenges, but also a heavy emotional burden. A wish awakens the strength and optimism essential to combat adversity in all its forms.
Much more than a moment of joy, it is a real treatment that allows the child to rediscover their carefree nature, to rediscover play, and to reconnect with their family and those around them.
Behind every wish lies a unique story, a daily struggle and a moment of pure magic. Discover how these precious moments transformed the lives of these courageous children and their families.
Each event is the result of a collective commitment. Thanks to the support of our donors, volunteers, and partners, Make-A-Wish continues to grow and provide unique moments to sick children.
