What makes New Zealanders think “I wish I hadn’t…”

10 November 2010

We've all done things we wish we hadn't - now there's an easy way to put things right.

Air New Zealand is teaming up with children's charity Make-A-Wish® New Zealand to give people a chance to make up for life's little mistakes and help a great cause.

We all have moments in life that we'd rather forget - it could be overlooking a friend's birthday, causing a fender bender, or sneaking that last piece of chocolate. Whatever it is that makes you think "I wish I hadn't...", you can now balance the ledger by sharing your "wish" at www.iwishihadnt.co.nz and donate to Make-A-Wish at the same time.

Make-A-Wish is a charity partner of Air New Zealand. It works to grant the cherished wishes of children with life threatening medical conditions. So by sharing your "I wish I hadn't" moment you're helping make these special dreams come true.

You can also check out the moments that others would rather forget - including some classics from high profile New Zealanders such as:

    "I wish I hadn't given those drums to Max!"
    Mils Muliaina – All Black

    "I wish l hadn't delivered those letters myself"
    Hon Chris Carter MP, Te Atatu – former Labour Cabinet Minister

    "I wish I hadn’t taken so long to realise my parents were so cool"

Donations can also be made from your mobile phone, just send your name and wish to 3181 to make an automatic $3 donation.
