Charity night for Dreamflight
A Merseyside Police Officer is
organising a charity night to raise money to send seriously ill and disabled
children on the holiday of a lifetime to America. Detective Sergeant Mark
Dickinson, who is based at Liverpool John Lennon Airport, and his wife,
Lisa, who is a nurse at Alder Hey Children's Hospital, set up the Liverpool
fundraising group for Dreamflight. Dreamflight is a national charity
which has run for 28 years sending 192 children with a serious illness or
disability each year on a 10 day trip of a lifetime to Florida. The charity
has to raise around £3,500 to send each child and, during last 2 years, the
Liverpool group has raised over £50,000 for 7 underprivileged local children
each year to make the trip. This year there have been a number of
fundraising events including a Zip Wire Challenge, Tandem Skydive and a
charity fun day. The latest fundraising event is being held at the First
National Wine Bar on James Street, Liverpool City Centre on Friday, 13
November 2015. Tickets for the event are £15 and include entertainment
from:- Elevation - The U2 Experience and a buffet. Mark is also looking for
any companies or individuals who can donate cash or raffle prizes to help
raise money. Mark said:- "It's a fantastic cause which transforms the
lives of local kids across our area who are coping with serious illnesses
and desperately need something to look forward to. This year we are hoping
to send 6 seriously ill or disabled children to Florida." For more
