We asked Sophia how Make-A-Wish had first started. She said it had begun with a very sick young boy called Chris, who had been dreaming for a long time of becoming a policeman. Sophia said lots of people had wanted to find a way to make Chris's dream come true-so, with everybody's help, Chris, only seven years old at the time, had been a policeman' for a day. "When people saw how delighted Chris was when his dream came true decided to try and help other sick children too, and that was the beginning of Make-A-Wish," explained Sophia.
