We Fund a trip of a lifetime to give sick children a happy break

Story

Many of you will know I’ve been the medical support on this wonderful charity trip taking life limited and chronically unwell children on the trip of a lifetime. Many wouldn't be able to make this trip without the generosity of this charity and it’s donors. 

The children get to spend 3 days away from therapies and treatments and enjoy the excitement of meeting Mickey and Minnie Mouse is Disneyland Paris, all transported in a mega convoy of London Taxis.

It costs £1400 per taxi to meet the necessary expenses of hotels, fuel, food and admission to the parks. The taxi drivers and support teams give their time for free. In all we take over 200 children per year on this once in a lifetime trip. 

It has been an absolute honour to be part of this trip over the past couple of years, supporting the children and their families from BirminghamChildren’s Hospital Liver and Small Bowel Transplant Unit, and now in honour of my 40th birthday I would love to be able to sponsor a taxi for next years trip. As a result I have set myself a number of crazy challenges over the next 12 months including a sky dive, marathon and potentially a few other mad tasks along the line. If you could donate even a pound that would be so very gratefully received. Updates will be posted here and on my social media.
