” I am very honored to be an ambassador for Make-A-Wish Danmark. Being a big dream believer myself, I am convinced of the impact a wish can have on a child.

And I want to give back in any way I possibly can – from performing, to raising awareness, to helping a child that dreams of being a ballerina.

Let us spread happiness to those in desperate need of a smile and a hug! ” – Holly.
