Make-A-Wish® Türkiye
Make-A-Wish® Türkiye (Bir Dilek Tut Derneği) brings hope and joy to children aged 3–17 who are bravely fighting life-threatening illnesses by making their wishes come true. These special moments give them strength, courage, and a renewed connection to life.
As the Türk Ekspres DMC family, we are truly honored to be part of this meaningful journey and to support such an inspiring cause.
Istanbul Marathon and Make-A-Wish Project
The 47th Istanbul Marathon, one of the biggest organizations in Turkish athletics and categorized as a “Gold Label” event by World Athletics, delivered breathtaking moments on November 2, 2025. This unique race, spanning from Asia to Europe, saw over 40,000 registrations from 126 different countries, offering an unforgettable experience for both professional athletes and thousands of public runners.
The Make-A-Wish Project is a global non-profit organization dedicated to granting the wishes of children (aged 3-18) with critical or life-threatening illnesses.
In short:
* To bring hope, strength, and joy to children battling serious diseases.
* Realizing a wish provides a vital psychological boost and is scientifically shown to increase a child’s energy and motivation to continue their challenging treatment.
* Wishes can be anything from meeting a celebrity, getting a specific toy or pet, visiting a special place, or even becoming a hero for a day (like a firefighter or police officer).
The Turk Ekspres Meeting & Events Team ran in the Istanbul Marathon to raise funds specifically for this powerful cause.
