I know i'm late to the party, but what a great series it's been.

I found a new found respect for a lot of the celebrities taking part (Especially Katie Price who obviously has a disabled child herself) who were all great with the kids, and really put the effort in. A lot of the stories were really sad to watch, but to see the kids so happy for a day was incredible. I particularly liked Prince William sending Gran's car to give the young girl a lift to see him, Beardy Branson lending out his yacht for a bit, and the F1 legends playing Scaletrics with the kids.

Overall i think it's been a great series, and the effort from everyone (Celebrities, fund raisers, event organisers) has been exceptional.

Definitely worth a look. It's amazing to see what these kids have gone through (One lad went through 2 bouts of cancer before turning 12!) and the fun they have on these amazing days organised for them.

This is one of the charities which will get a fair bit of money from me when I win the Euromillions.
