Yesterday Matt Lewis visited Heathrow Airport to send off 200 children on their Dreamflight vacation. The young passengers had been hand-picked to go on the ten-day holiday by doctors and medical experts, having battled with serious illness, disability and trauma. They will visit a host of attractions, including SeaWorld, Disney World and Universal Studios.
Matthew had this to say about the day: “I read about what Dreamflight was and how amazing it was going to be for these kids that I jumped at the chance to be here. It’s been the most amazing day, it’s been a pleasure. All these kids have been looking forward to this for a really long time. It just takes me back to when I was a kid and went over to Orlando and saw some amazing things.”
The Press Association also released a video from the day. You can also view some photos in the gallery.
