Hello all,
My name is Chris and my wife is Corinne, In January 2016 our baby was diagnosed T1 which was devastating, as we are now coming to terms with it we have decided we need to give something back, we started fund raising around 5 weeks ago and already raised over £4k https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/Chris-Elwood?

Myself (Chris) works as a bus / coach driver, due to the contacts i have within the travel industry, i have managed to put together a trip to Disneyland Paris! lots of confirmed bookings already, started with 1 coach, now have 4 coaches going 🙂

Would be amazing if you would join us on this trip, this event will also raise money for Diabetes UK and i can confirm that we will not be making any money from this trip, once everything has been paid, all monies left in the pot will be donated in full to Diabetes UK

The trip cost just £99 per person, this includes return coach travel, sea crossing and Disneyland tickets for BOTH parks!

More info here (please share the link wide and far) invite your family and friends too

Hi Chris and welcome to the forum. I would have been up for this but I will be going to Disneyland Paris on the 19th September for 7 days! Good luck with the fund raising though.
 
Just put in for a day off on the Saturday. If successful will need 3 places out of Victoria, possibly a couple more. Thank you for organising this great venture.
