Reese takes a wish trip fit for a queen Reese is five years old and dreamed of meeting Queen Elsa. Living with a congenital cardiac condition, Reese wished for a trip to Walt Disney World® Resort so she could spend some one-on-one time with Elsa, ride the teacups, and enjoy all the Disney fun she and her family could squeeze in. With a personal invitation from the Queen herself, Reese and her family learned that her wish was coming true!

Before all of that excitement, a big part of Reese’s wish journey happened before she even left home.

Locally-owned businesses in the Town of Barrhead contributed to a scavenger hunt for Reese. She went from place to place collecting balloons, stuffed animals, flowers, jewelry, and even a giant bunny cookie and a large canvas print of Olaf!

The generous donations and the scavenger hunt created so much excitement around the upcoming wish trip, helping to make Reese’s wish experience distinctive and unique — just like Reese!

The highlight of the trip for Reese was Splash Mountain and — of course — meeting Queen Elsa.

Braeden's Wish to be a Blue Jay!3-year-old Braeden, diagnosed with a cardiac condition, absolutely loves baseball and asks his parents to read him the baseball rule book all the time. He is very passionate about his favourite team – the Toronto Blue Jays – so Braeden wished to be a Blue Jay!

Braeden’s mom says that watching the Blue Jays' Russell Martin catching on TV inspired Braeden to learn how to squat and walk. “The Blue Jays have been his inspiration for everything!”

In July, the Toronto Blue Jays granted Braeden’s wish. He met Blue Jays players in the locker room, watched batting practice and hung out with ACE and Jose Bautista during the Jr. Jays Saturday starting lineup presented by Boston Pizza. Afterwards Braeden and his family watched the Blue Jays game.

Braeden can't stop talking about his wish day. “This experience meant everything to him.” Thank you to the Toronto Blue Jays for granting his wish and to Boston Pizza Northern Alberta for sponsoring his wish!

LIVING ON THE EDGE: Rope for Hope 2017 On July 12, 2017, Make-A-Wish® Northern Alberta partnered with the Coast Edmonton Plaza Hotel for our 4th annual Rope For Hope event. More than 60 brave participants rappelled 22 storeys down the side of the Coast Edmonton Plaza, helping to raise nearly $120,000 for our chapter.

On July 22 we did it all again, this time in Red Deer. Over 30 rappellers made their way down the 12 storeys of Stantec Executive Place. We were thrilled with the success of this first-time event!

Rope For Hope, presented by Canadian Western Bank, takes place each year from coast to coast. From May to July, individuals challenge themselves to raise pledges in exchange for the unique opportunity to rappel down a local city skyscraper. All money raised by Rope For Hope goes to granting the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions.

Not brave enough to rappel? That’s okay! You can still donate to the Edmonton or Red Deer event. Your contribution always makes a difference.

Call Heather at 780-444-9474 or visit makeawishna.ca for more information.

WISH MOMENTS

BAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE: Wishful Baking Week 2017 Did someone say cookies? Wishful Baking Week combines two magical things: sweet treats and granting wishes. You can help impact the lives of very deserving children by baking your favourite treat and sharing it with your school, company, or community group.

How it works:

• Sign up to host a bake sale • Let your team, school, friends, community

or coworkers know that you are hosting your Wishful Baking event during the week of October 2-6, 2017

• Organize your bakers/buyers and let them know when and where the event is, as well as what to bring

Your event can be as simple or elaborate as you choose — host a traditional bake sale in your school’s cafeteria, plan an elegant high tea and treats sale, or get your coworkers together to host a cupcake bake off. The theme is up to you!

All the funds raised during Wishful Baking Week will go towards granting the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions. Now what could be sweeter than that?

CALENDAR OF WISHESLast December, Abbey Glen Park in downtown Edmonton was transformed into a whimsical Winter Wish Square featuring a larger-than-life advent calendar — the Calendar of Wishes. Each day, Edmonton’s community gathered (often in the freezing cold!) to reveal a unique wish story behind every calendar door.

We are so grateful to those who granted wishes with us last year. We are looking forward to bringing a new, creative calendar to life once again in December 2017. Together, the calendar raised over $70,000 and celebrated 24 unique wishes.

To find out more or to get involved, please visit our website makeawishna.ca.

Brandt takes a bite out of the Big Apple Brandt is a charming eight-year-old boy living with a congenital cardiac condition. He likes soccer, swimming, biking and Nerf guns, and most of all, the Home Alone movies. Brandt dreamed of travelling to New York City where he could see the sites — just like Kevin McAllister

— only Brandt would take his family too!

Brandt’s wish finally came true when he and his family took a flight to New York City. They saw the New York Mets at Citi Field, visited the Central Park Zoo and the Statue of Liberty, and toured through the city in a limo. Brandt’s favorite part of his wish trip was visiting the Microsoft Store on Fifth Avenue. He and his brother enjoyed some live gaming (NHL Hockey!), and Brandt was given an Xbox One to take home.

“Brandt’s wish came true in every aspect. It brought joy to the whole family to be there to celebrate his wish.”
