Les Hoey was inspired to bring joy to children with serious illnesses after his daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia
A dad who was inspired to bring joy to children with serious illnesses after his daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia is still dedicating his time to making dreams come true - 30 years later.
After pulling it off, and seeing how happy the experience made Shelley, Les was inspired to help other children who were in his daughter’s position. “You know yourself, if you go to the dentist and come home you don’t want to go anywhere. But these kids, after getting gruelling radiotherapy and chemotherapy, they’re dancing at the concerts.“I’ve had parents say to me ‘they’ll just go to the meet and greet then an hour at the concert’ and before you know it, they’re still there and they don’t want to go home. It makes some difference to them.”He said: “I had already met The Queen a few years previous, but it was just to have her talk to you.
The following year, Les Hoey MBE DreamMaker Foundation was registered as an official charity and two caravans at Craig Tara were purchased shortly after. “We’re a small charity, we can’t just say yes right away, unfortunately, but we’re always trying our hardest to make the kids’ dreams come true.
