When lymphoma turned Skye’s world upside down, she found hope in her wish to travel to Africa to meet her adopted elephant, Murit.


After months of treatment, Skye’s wish became a reality, giving her the chance to connect with the animal she had followed and supported for years while exploring a place she had always dreamed of visiting.

"It was definitely a bright star in a dark and scary time for me... something to take my mind off my illness."
Meeting Murit was more than an unforgettable adventure. It gave Skye something meaningful to look forward to, helped her dream beyond her diagnosis, and created memories that will stay with her forever.
"The impact of this experience will, without a doubt, be lifelong."

This National Elephant Day, we're celebrating the incredible bond between Skye and Murit, and the power of a wish to bring hope, joy, and healing when it's needed most.
