Donate Airline Miles

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our airline partners and their members, the Make-A-Wish Foundation was able to grant thousands of travel wishes last year. Frequent fliers donated hundreds of millions of miles to fulfill travel wishes. We estimate that more than one billion frequent flier miles will be needed to grant each child's travel wish this year. Please consider donating miles – you can help make wishes come true. To donate miles please email sherry@mawfnn.org or call 826-8008 for more information.

Wish Stories
Wish Child Evan
Evan

   On a recent freezing December day, warm hearts were all around as a little boy from North Carolina received his greatest wish: a tour of the Top Gun facility at Fallon Naval Air Base. The soon-to-be 5 year old Evan has lost one kidney to Wilm's Tumor, but is in much better health these days. He is a big fan of the movie, Top Gun and his dad is stationed at the Army Base in Ft. Bragg, North Carolina. Mom, Dad, and Evan's two older brothers were all treated to an eye-popping tour of the flight line, courtesy of a real-life Marine flight instructor. Evan would like to be a Top Gun or helicopter pilot someday, and it looks like he's already on his way, having been presented by the Base Admiral himself with an honorary Top Gun certificate of graduation. Congressman Jim Gibbons was in attendance, to greet Evan and his family. Happy flying, Evan!

The young man's journey to the time and place captured in the photo is an amazing one that started when he was 12 years old. Casey had been experiencing blinding headaches that his parents attributed to a sinus infection. On the way to the doctor, Casey joked that the pain was so bad it was like a brain tumor. After some tests, the lab called with the devastating news...
