Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>For some reason I am doing this again, this time however I want to crack 3 hours! Training is going OK, although had a touch of Man Flu a week or so ago so this has set me back a little but going for it none the less.</p> <p>I have decided to raise money for Dreamflight which has a strong accosiation&nbsp;with British Airways. <span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Dreamflight relies entirely on the generosity of its supporters.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>The total cost of the Dreamflight trip each year is in excess of &pound;750,000. So what is Dreamflight??</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><span style="color: #000000;">Dreamflight was founded by 2 employees from British Airways but is financially and organisationally independent of the airline.&nbsp;<span style="font-family: VAGRounded;">This is why&nbsp;they rely on volunteer fundraisers and supporters to raise the necessary funds each year to fund the trip. </span></span>Dreamflight provides a holiday of a lifetime for nearly 200 seriously ill or disabled children. They are flown out to Orlando to visit the fantastic theme parks and entertainment facilities that part of the world has been made famous for.&nbsp;Everything is &nbsp;provided for a great holiday from a trendy backpack to food and drink to a safe and secure flight there and back.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">British Airways supports the charity but generous donations are constantly required to keep the charity 'flying'. I need you 'on board' to assist and I am 'check-in' that you are with me. </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Enough of the punns!! I really need your help.&nbsp;I know I have great friends and family that will do so to help these amazing kids. So please give generously and you will ensure a holiday of a lifetime for children who truly deserve it.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Thank you for your time and generosity, I understand that times are difficult for everyone currently.</span></p> <p><em>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
