The Outlook Podcast Archive - The making of the 'Wish Man'

Frank Shankwitz is the co-founder of the Make-A-Wish Foundation, an organisation that since 1980 has granted hundreds of thousands of wishes for children with life-threatening medical conditions. Frank’s inspiration came from his own difficult childhood, a near-death experience and an encounter with a 7-year-old boy named Chris Greicius.

Frank is the subject of a recently released feature film called Wish Man.
