ST. LOUIS — Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas is hosting the 2023 Walk for Wishes presented by Centene & Spectrum on April 8 at Forest Park in St. Louis. This community walk is a fundraising event that shines a light on the nonprofit and how they provide life-changing wishes to children battling critical illnesses.
A wish has the power to transform lives, bring communities together and create life-changing moments. Many wish children go on to live healthy lives and reflect on their wish as a turning point in their recovery. Wish Kid Gabby received a transformative wish during her treatment journey. She visited Twin Oaks Ranch in Tennessee for a horseback riding vacation with her family.
This year, Make-A-Wish Missouri & Kansas is celebrating its 40th anniversary and 4 decades of granting more than 9,300 wishes since the chapter's inception in 1983.
