Default Support Jessica Make A Wish For Christmas Charity AFF Event 2017

Support Jessica, Make A Wish Christmas Charity AFF Event

Like last year our Forum with generous support of the members and our sponsors we raised $7500 to grant a wish for a young child, this year we will be doing the same as a part of our Christmas Charity event.
Ford Forums last year become a major contributor to Make A Wish and the team @ M.A.W are very much appreciative of your efforts, so let’s dig deep and it don’t matter what size the donation it’s about the contribution of making this wish come true for Christmas.
We would love to least match last year’s total.
100% of all money raised goes to Make A Wish, AFF take nothing for expenses.
Our Make A Wish Fundraising Authority Event # No: 30038


This is the email from Make A Wish with the details of the Child we will be raising money for.


We are just so thrilled to have the support of Ford Forum again in 2017. Once again you have decided to fund a wish for a child suffering a life threating illness. This year funds raised will help us provide a wish for Jessica 9yrs old from NSW.
We are thrilled to know that you have selected to support inspirational wish that will make a massive difference to Jessica and her family.

About Jessica’s Wish

Jessica 9yrs old from NSW has wished “to have a cookout with Roothy.” Throughout her battle with Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy, she’s sits at home with dad and loves watching his 4WD DVD’s with him.

Through these shows, she has developed a love for Roothy and the life he leads camping in the outback.

She’s watched all of his shows and likes the Cape York one best – she likes this one because of the WWII history there.

For her wish, she told us she’d love to go to the tip of Australia to meet Roothy and his dog. She pictures camping on the beach in a swag, going fishing then sitting around the fire eating the fish she caught.


Watching these shows with her dad offers a chance to escape the reality of day to day appointments and treatments. Being able to be there with Roothy camping will give her something positive to look forward to and show her what life can be like beyond her illness and hospitals.

Thank you again for your generosity and support.

Best Wishes,
Ryan McKinnis
Fundraising Development Coordinator - Vic/Tas

Awesome cause, Spoolman! It's great to be given a chance to help out these kids who are going through such a big fight - for their life!
I've chipped in a greenback via bank deposit (so my wife doesn't find out... shhh!)

My online bank wants a bank name. Not reading the bsb for some reason & I don't trust paypal. Mate n I did a heap of work for a Starlight Fondation gig many years ago for a very sick young lad who had such a great time. More than happy to help out here. See you friday (Payday)

A very worthy cause and we are proud to be associated with Make-A-Wish again in 2017; our third year of doing so.

I've kicked off our contribution with a $500 company donation from the small crew in my office.
