Riley's dream - Disneyland Paris

12 year old Riley from Barnsley suffers from Christianson Syndrome and several other conditions which limit his movement and awareness.

Riley’s dream was to visit Disneyland Paris with his family to enjoy the sights, sounds and atmosphere of this magical place!

Riley’s Mum, Katie, send us this message the week before their trip:

Ailsa, we cannot thank Create a Dream enough for arranging this magical trip. We feel completely overwhelmed! Ever since Riley was a baby we have struggled as a family and things have been really tough.. as I am sure it’s like that for many of the families you are involved with. This holiday means the world! We know that you have planned and organised it with so much love and it’s one of most generous things anyone has ever done for us. We are truly grateful to you, Alison (at Travel Counsellors) and everyone at Create a Dream foundation and I hope one day we can give back and help you in creating dreams for others. Much love and once again thank you. We are very much looking forward to Disneyland Paris xxxx

And then this the day after they came home with these wonderful photos!

We’ve had the most amazing time and made so many memories we will cherish forever. We feel completely overwhelmed and moved by all you’ve done for us. It’s been wonderful to see Riley lifted, happy, clapping, enjoying the rides, lights, music and fireworks. We cannot thank you enough for this magical experience with him.
