| Daniel meets Kevin |
|
Daniel was flown down from Newcastle to meet his hero Kevin Dualla.
Dan was fascinated by the program "Blues Clues" and he wanted to meet the
presenter and to visit the set. With military precision the trip was set in
motion and the event took place. On the return flight was one very very happy boy.
Daniel was presented with a video of the meeting to remind him of the day that he met his hero.

| James to meet Justin Rose |
|
An avid golfer and Junior Club Captain, young James was struck with leukemia and
was undergoing treatment at the world famous "Barts" Hospital in London.
Having been through the vigorous treatment it was time for a treat.
Just prior to the 2002 Open Championship, Justin Rose was practicing at his local
club and agreed to take time out of his busy schedule to give James a few tips
and a little extra coaching. The two of them went out to enjoy 9 holes.
Returning to the club house was one happy young man accompanied by a true
professional and gentleman.

| Adam meets Phil Collins |
|
It was Adams wish to be able to have a drumming lesson, who better than the
aficionado of the skins, Phil Collins. Adam was picked up from home under the
pretence that he was going for another hospital visit. Little did he know!
A couple of hours later we arrived at the Genesis studio's in darkest Sussex.
Adam was greeted by Phil and given a tour of the facilities then it was down to
business. Having settled down behind the biggest drum kit imaginable, Adam
donned the headsets and was told to lay down the rhythm for what we discovered
was the new soundtrack for the Disney blockbuster "Tarzan".

| Lisa & Samira Receive their Dream Tickets |
|
2 young ladies, Lisa (left) and Samira (Right) are both presented with their
tickets and itineraries, to fulfill their Dream, to meet Mickey Mouse in Florida.
The tickets were presented by His Worship the Mayor of Islington Cllr.
Joe Trotter in the council chamber, on hand to assist with the proceedings, was
local resident and supporter of Dial-A-Dream Ms. Linda Robson.
Looking at the pictures it was hard to tell who was the most excited, Linda or the girls. As the nominated charity for the London Borough of Islington for the year 2001/2002, we are very proud to be associated with such a conscientious and hard working (fundraising) Mayor. |
| Alex, Clare and Paul off to Euro Disney |
|
One of the first "dreams" that we undertook involving travel, was to send these
three children from Gt. Ormond St. Hospital to Euro Disney. All three suffered
from Cystic Fibrosis.
