Victoria Beach Police: Childrens Wish 2008

CHILDREN'S WISH 2008

The 2008 Wish Child was Taylor LESAGE. Taylor is a young boy who has a rare blood disorder which makes it very risky for him to be able to roughouse like a normal boy as he is prone to serious bruising and bleeding if he is bumped too hard.

Anyone wishing to make a donation / pledge for next year can do so by contacting either the Childrens Wish Foundation or the Victoria Beach Police.
