Dreamflight is a charity close to our hearts.  We have both seen first hand, the difference a trip of a lifetime can make to the confidence, happiness and well-being of sick kids.  Both through working on paediatric wards and on previous years' trips, and this October we will be accompanying Dreamflight's deserving children on its 30th annual trip.

Each year, 192 very important children, with serious illness or disability, travel from the UK to Florida, for ten magical days of fun and excitement.  They are accompanied by a dedicated team of doctors, nurses, physiotherapists and non-medical volunteers to provide round the clock care.  

It costs £3500 for this opportunity for one child and we would like to sponsor one place on this year's trip, with your help.  We are cycling the 300 long miles between London and Paris to raise the money for this.  It is a bit of a daunting challenge - the first day alone covers 90 miles.  We are training hard to complete this challenge in recognition of all the challenges that these children go through in their lives.  When our legs ache and muscles tire, the thought of the difference Dreamflight can make, will encourage us on to the finish line.

Catherine's sister, Ruth, is also a vital part of the team for endurance and camaraderie.  She is raising money for Endometrioisis UK, and her page can be found at,

Thank you in advance for your support, we're really grateful for whatever you can spare and look forward to giving you updates as we embark on this worthy challenge - támadunk!!  (Hungarian for attaaaaaaack!!!)

The cycle ride is 14th - 18th September 2016, but we have to raise over 80% by the end of June to secure our places on the cycle ride.  So we really do appreciate your early consideration of how to support us.  Thanks!
