Make-A-Wish Malaysia is fulfilling its 1,000th wish

The non-profit organisation is dedicated to fulfilling the wishes of children aged 3 to 18 with critical illnesses.

For its 1,000th wish, the NGO has partnered with Sunway Malls & Theme Parks to bring Ayra Medina Fizrullah's dream to life.

Ayra is nine years old and her wish is to become a mermaid princess. She is currently battling stage four Neuroblastoma.

Neuroblastoma is a cancer that develops from immature nerve cells found in several areas of the body.

In celebration of the momentous milestone, you're invited to join the 'Pearl of Hope: A Royal Celebration', featuring curated activities inspired by Ayra's wish

The special event will take place on Sunday, 19 May, from 9.30am to 12pm.

Spend the morning in an underwater-themed wonderland, enjoy one-of-a-kind activities, and witness the main star of the day, Ayra, as she receives a Mermaid Coronation.

"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," said Irene Tan, CEO of Make-A-Wish Malaysia

"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," Tan added.

Meanwhile HC Chan, CEO of Sunway Malls & Theme Parks, shared that in return, they are honoured to be part of the celebration and look forward to giving Wish Child Ayra an unforgettable day.

"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," Chan shared.

To be part of Ayra's wish-come-true, you can download the Make-A-Wish app on Google Play or the App Store
