Lapland, Winter Wonderland!

Posted by Glenn

Now that we have arrived at the other end of the Christmas celebrations (and I hope yours were peaceful and happy), I can share this fantastic experience, and wonderful surprise with you!

Jed and Kezia were offered places on the 2008 trip to Lapland, organised by the “Northern Ireland Children to Lapland Trust“, a relatively new charity, which has the aim of bringing a day of joy to some of the many terminally ill children in our country, and to some, who although not ill themselves, have went through a similar situation with a sibling.

It was a magical day for us, and we would like to send a huge Thank You to everyone involved!

This was the second year of this event, and some of the children were from the Royal Victoria Hospital Haematology department, and the rest were connected with the Northern Ireland Children’s Hospice.

A fantastic day was had by all, an experience never to be forgotten, right from the airline staff, to the Husky dogs!

Check out their 2008 trip itinerary here , and if you ever come across this charity, do support them. This certainly is a fantastic cause, and this is a wonderful gift for all these children.
