Sam’s story
I'm looking forward to challenging myself by running my first ever marathon! I've wanted to do this for a couple of year however, I never really got around to it. At the start of the year I wrote it down on my GOAL list for 2022 and whilst I was on holiday during the week I decided to just jump in and take part in the Edinburgh Marathon this weekend. I've had no training preparation but looking forward to pushing myself both physically and mentally for the amazing Les Hoey MBE dream maker foundation. Any little donation can help and I appreciate anything you can give me!
A little bit about the charity:
The charity helps children and their siblings going through gruelling treatments to meet their idols. Celebrities such as Johnny Depp, Ed Sheeran, Beyonce, McBusted, The Script, and The Scotland football team. The children are also given the chance to go along to concerts, theatre shows, football games and outings to M&D’s theme park, Blair Drummond Safari park, Zoos, Restaurants or anything they desire to make their lives a little more bearable during this hard time.
Each year, they have a Christmas party for approx 300 children and their families. The party is attended by local celebrities, and of course Santa. Team DreamMaker work hard throughout the year to provide entertainment and gifts for each child and their siblings.
To see the children smile and for the families to have the memories of their sick children enjoying themselves is priceless and having fun instead of being in a hospital environment is amazing and all worthwhile.
They are a small charity with only 3 employees and rely on donations and support from the public. We work tirelessly night and day and would appreciate any sponsored events or fundraising nights that you could do to help us to support these children.
