With additional donations that were made direct to Make A Wish Australia the estimated amount raised was nearly $10,000 to assist seriously sick children with their wishes. We met some wonderful people on the road and heard some sad and happy stories from Make A Wish Recipients. We sincerely thank everyone who was involved with the tour. The venues, caravan parks and businesses that assisted us, thank you. To those that supported our shows, purchased merchandise and made donations, Thank You. Together we have helped to Make A Wish Come True for seriously sick children and the families.
