How Did it All Begin?<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n
<\/p>\n

In 1980<\/span>, Christopher James Grecious, a 7-year-old boy who lived in the United States and was battling severe leukemia, made a wish. His biggest dream was to grow up and become a cop. Realizing that, his mother, some friends and the Phoenix Police Department came together to grant him this wish. They started by preparing him a uniform, a police cap and a police ID. On the day of the wish, Chris got into a police car, a police motorcycle and even tried a police helicopter. He was also awarded a police badge after passing an entrance exam that was prepared especially for him.<\/p>\n

Two days later, the world lost Chris, and for the first time in the United States a civilian official funeral was held. Chris\u2019s wish later inspired the creation of Make-A-Wish.<\/p>\n

Today, Make-A-Wish is the largest wish fulfillment organization in the world. It carries out its activities on an international level with branches operating in 50 countries.<\/p>\n

Make-A-Wish fulfills the wishes of 30,000 children every year with the help of more than 40,000 volunteers.<\/p>\n
