Read Steve”s story and his motivation for supporting this wonderful charity.
“My daughter Mali has had the toughest 18 months of her life following a diagnosis of a brain tumour and a condition called Langerhans Cell Hystiocytosis.
Mali is a huge inspiration to us all and as you can see from the picture has just completed her last Chemo treatment.
Myself and a team of 8 people including two fellow instructors and two ex students have decided to Tab 107 Km with a 35lb Bergen non stop from Newport to Llanelli visiting each regional rugby ground. We will be raising funds for Dream and Wishes .
Dreams and Wishes have been an outstanding help by creating memories to help ease the burden a little by arranging family outings and well deserved special treats for Mali.”
Dreams and Wishes is 100% Volunteer based charity and 100% of every penny raised with NO deductions goes to seriously ill children and their families! #waveafiver #smilesonfaces
