 How the Dreamflight children are chosen

Dreamflight cannot offer every deserving child the chance of a holiday to Disneyworld , so they look for children whose illnesses have made their so difficult, so unpleasant, that they simply deserve a treat like this.

The basic criteria require that they are usually between eight and fourteen years old and are currently, or have been serioulsy ill. Advice is taken form the medical profession and paediatricians from all areas of the UK are invited to propose children whom they feel will benefit from Dreamflight.

A number of factors are considered when making the selection, including fitness for the long flight and the busy holiday. The level of medical attention required, too, is important. Of course, most of the children will need supervised medication or some form of treatment, but this is a holiday, so the attention they require must not be so intrusive as to risk spoiling all the fun.

The aim, then is to select children with a cross-section of illnesses and conditions. Dreamflight is always over subscribed with deserving children but many of those unlucky this year will be chosen next year.
