We make dreams come true to help seriously/terminally ill children

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Between 3rd to 22nd December 2011, I will be trekking to base camp Mount Everest,some 15000 feet above sea level.I have paid for the trip myself so any kind donations will all go to the young lady detailed below.

Although a life ambition and tremendous challenge it is even more important that I achieve my aim for a beautiful little girl called Ellen who captured my heart after speaking to the wonderful charity Promise Dreams.

Ellen is 12(same age as my daughter)and was born with Ataxic Celebral palsy,this means that sadly Ellen is wheelchair bound all the time and also has slow motor skills.She cannot walk without support but can crawl-she is dependant on adult care to get around and for all her simple needs.

Ellen and her little sister have had a traumatic couple of years with Dad leaving home and Ellen's disabilities making things harder and harder as time goes on.Ellen's mum would love to take her daughters to Walt Disney Florida,but due to her current financial situation is unable to do so....however with your help we can make their dream a reality.

I know with all the amazing people I know we can put a smile on this little girls face again although as you will see on photo 2 it is never far away!

Thank you so much for reading and from Ellen and myself we thank you greatly from our hearts for any donation.

Danny.
