Story

This September as a team we're taking on the treacherous peak, Ben Nevis.

Being the bunch of novice climbers that we are, this is by no means a small feat which I'm sure will become apparent a couple of hours into it, or when we've reached the summit and climbed the 4,042 feet.

But we're not doing this for fun we're hoping to make a dream come true. For every couple of feet we climb, we're hoping to raise some much-needed funds for Dreams Come True.

There is one specific Dream that captured all our hearts 6-year-old Alanna's.

Alanna is a happy little girl who loves people, school, and all things Peppa Pig. Alanna has Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy, and Global Developmental Delay and is unable to walk on her own.

Alanna’s dream is to have a bedroom makeover, where she can
invite her friends over to play. Not only will this be a great place for Alanna to enjoy playing with her Peppa Pig Kitchen and Peppa Pig Makeup table, but it will also be a safe place for Alanna to be more independent and sleep at night, meaning she will no longer be sleeping with her parents. Of course, the room will be themed around her favorite character Peppa Pig, and her parents say “Alanna won’t be able to contain her excitement when her dream comes true, I am sure there will be screams of excitement and happiness!”

Over the last three decades, Dreams Come True has fulfilled the dreams of 6,365 children and young adults living with serious and life-limiting conditions, and we're hoping to add one more to the list.

The work they do is truly touching, which undoubtedly makes a colossal impact during such a heart-rending time.

We'd massively appreciate your encouragement and support by helping us smash our fundraising target, and helping Alanna get the room makeover of her dreams, so please donate what you can.

Chris, Elisha, Laura, and Levi
