It has worked with more than 500,000 children, making about six dreams a day come true. has been working with Reach For A Dream to make even more dreams come true. Wimpy is a supporter of Slipper Day, Reach For A Dream’s largest annual fundraiser.
While the children’s dreams usually range from gadgets or toys, to plane rides or meet-and-greets, Reach For A Dream always goes the extra mile to give every child exactly what they ask for. This year, two of the many dreams that this worthwhile initiative is looking to fulfil include those of Jordan Lubbe and Simamkele Ngqunya .
Jordan was diagnosed with acute lymphocytic leukaemia, a blood and bone marrow cancer that affects white blood cells. Nothing gives Jordan greater pleasure than being in the great outdoors, and he longs to own fishing equipment to pursue his dream of being a world-class fisherman. Simamkele dreams of owning a laptop to do his schoolwork and watch movies while he is in hospital. Simamkele was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukaemia in January, after his health started declining last year.
