Each year Dreamflight takes 192 children (with a serious illness or disability) to Orlando for 10 days. The trip gives them a chance to discover independence, confidence and a new outlook on life. This project would fund theme park tickets for 7 of the days for all 192 children.

Situation
Unfortunately, there are too many deserving children across the UK suffering with a serious illness or disability, and many also from deprived backgrounds. Often they are cared for round-the-clock by their families and carers, and rarely get to experience the things other children might experience. Aside from the pain and discomfort of their illness, they often feel they are alone or the odd one out, as sense that stays with them throughout their lives. Dreamflight aims to change that.
Solution
Dreamflight aims to help these children realise their potential by doing something medicine can't: give confidence, independence and a sense of fun. With the help of our team of volunteer doctors, physios and other volunteers we take the children (without parents) on a 'holiday of a lifetime'. They meet others in a similar situation, develop lifelong friendships and experience the thrills of the theme parks in Orland during our 10 day trip.
