Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My son was diagnosed with kidney disease just before his second birthday. Since then, he has been on a constant cocktail of medications, undergone biopsies, x-rays, tests and trials and regular blood tests. In October this year he was lucky enough to be selected to go on Dreamflight: the holiday of a lifetime.

Dreamflight is a UK charity that changes young lives through taking children with a serious illness or disability, without their parents, on the holiday of a lifetime to Orlando, Florida. 

For most of us, a holiday is just a break: a time to relax, take a break from work and maybe get a tan. For the children that go on Dreamflight, it is a rare occasion to be away from home, parents, doctors, hospitals: the often hard reality of their day to day lives, and just be kids. 

The cost of the trip is covered completely by charitable donations and I will be trying my hardest to raise enough to send one child next year so £1 or £100, whatever you can afford, please give what you can to help a child be a child and have the holiday of a lifetime!
