Since 1982, we have granted wishes to children diagnosed with terminal or life-threatening illnesses 🙏 | #TeamMLF #MLFwishes #TheCourageToWishForMore Since 1982, we have fulfilled wishes to children ages 3–17 w/ terminal & life-threatening illnesses. The Marty Lyons Foundation (MLF) was established in 1982 to fulfill the special wishes of children, ages three (3) to seventeen (17) years old, who have been diagnosed as having a terminal or life-threatening illness by providing and arranging special wish requests. We grant wishes today for a better tomorrow. We are unique in that we will grant a second wish to a deserving child.
