Hi All. As You know Dover carnival have been helping raise awareness for a rare medical condition called progeria.
Hayley Okines Who suffers with the condition has a Wish list, and part of it was to hold the Annual Progeria childrens reunion, which has has never been hosted in England, and it now seems her wish can come true, and to boot the event is going to be held in Kent. Between August 6th and 12th of this year.
During the week the children will be visiting lots of local attractions with their carers and medical team and I have been asked by Hayley's Mum Kerry to try and get hold of a contact at Dover castle, to see if they would be prepared to offer the children a day out. Approx number of 75 will go on the trip. There will be huge media coverage wherever these children go during their stay in Kent, And I wondered if anyone had the contact at Dover castle I would need to speak to....
PLEASE HELP ME PEEPS xx

Mandie, I have done what I said I would do,I downloaded your post took it with me and gave it in,with my email and home phone number on it. I was told it would go down to the Castle main office,from there to the education dept of the Castle who will say yes or no,but they will not phone or email about it,you will have to phone them or go and see them.That is all I could do for you but I hope it works out for you in the end. Vic Matcham.
