Shane’s Wish

To visit the Irish Defence Forces

Shane was diagnosed with Burkitt lymphoma last year and has undergone 6 months of intense treatment.​

His wish was to visit the Irish Defence Forces.

Watch to see how his wish was granted recently, an experience his dad called “a dream come true.”

A huge thank you to David Cudmore, Alan Gordon and everyone at the Irish Defence Forces for helping to make Shane’s wish come true. 

Together we can make a difference for children.

Make-A-Wish Ireland has one simple aim – to grant the wishes of children with life-threatening medical conditions, to bring hope, strength and happiness.

With your kind support, you can help us achieve that aim.
