Make-A-Wish Canada has launched a new national brand campaign, "Wishes Are Medicine", that redefines the meaning of a wish and its impact on children facing critical illness. At the heart of the campaign is a powerful message delivered by sick children themselves: Wishes are not just a nice-to-have; they’re an essential part of treatment.
