Make-A-Wish Malaysia, a non-profit organisation dedicated to fulfilling the wishes of children aged 3 to 18 with critical illnesses, has partnered with Sunway Malls and Theme Parks to bring the dream of a nine year-old Wish Child to life. This special wish grant is a significant milestone for Make-A-Wish Malaysia representing the fulfilment of its 1000th wish. Make-A-Wish Malaysia extends an invitation to all Malaysians to join in this momentous milestone of wish granting.
The ‘Pearl of Hope: A Royal Celebration’ will be hosted by Make-A-Wish Malaysia and Sunway Malls and Theme Parks at Sunway Lagoon. The celebration will feature curated activities inspired by nine-year-old Ayra Medina Fizrullah’s dream of becoming a mermaid princess, amidst her battle with stage four Neuroblastoma. Members of the public are invited to immerse themselves in the celebration and experience the fulfilment of the 1000th wish milestone.
“Our mission at Make-A-Wish Malaysia has always been to bring renewed hope, strength, and encouragement to every child and family we serve through our wishes. The wishes granted would not have been possible without the support of our donors, partners and community. We are immensely grateful for the support of Sunway Malls & Theme Parks in our latest wish grant, and we hope that Malaysians will experience first-hand the same joy, hope, and strength that our wish child and their family can find through this celebration,” said Irene Tan, CEO of Make-A-Wish Malaysia.
On the partnership with Make-A-Wish Malaysia, HC Chan, CEO of Sunway Malls & Theme Parks, shares, “At Sunway Malls & Theme Parks, our commitment to creating memorable experiences resonates deeply with Make-A-Wish Malaysia’s mission of bringing renewed hope, strength, and encouragement to children and families. We are honoured to be part of this celebration and look forward to providing both Wish Child Ayra and all attendees with unforgettable moments. Through this celebration, we aim to showcase our dedication and values, ensuring that every Malaysian leaves with cherished memories, whether at Sunway Lagoon or within our malls.”
The ‘Pearl of Hope: A Royal Celebration’ will take place on Sunday, 19th May 2024 from 9:30am to 12:00pm, and members of the public will get to experience a series of curated underwater-themed activities as well as witness the special Mermaid Coronation for Wish Child Ayra.
