On September 14th 2013 a team of around 25 staff from British Airways are entering the Bewl Water Dragonboat festival, the largest in Europe, in aid of Dreamflight.

We will be racing against approximately 60 teams and this year we intend to win! It'll be a tiring whole day of paddling frantically alongside a load of other sweaty blokes all raising money for a great cause. We need your support.

We are hoping to cover the costs of taking 2 children on Dreamflight in their entirety this year but if we could make it 3 we will be delighted. Go on.... chip in even a little and help us help them ?

Once a year, 192 deserving children from all over the UK, accompanied by a team of medical carers, board a chartered Boeing 747 and head to Florida to spend 10 magical days of fun and excitement. Many children could not undertake such a trip without the support of the army of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and non-medical volunteers who care for the children 24 hours a day.

Dreamflight is not just a holiday. The children leave their families behind giving them an opportunity to discover independence, confidence, and a whole new outlook on life. Often for the first time, these children realise that they are not alone, and they are not the odd one out. They see children around them who have also suffered, they gain perspective, and experience things they never thought possible.

Thank you for your interest.
