But then in February, William saw an advert on the TV for the
Summer of Superheroes at Disneyland Paris with the chance to
spend time with Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Black
Widow and Star-Lord.
“His little face lit up and he said – Mum, can we go and meet the
superheroes? – He is a huge fan of the Marvel movies and to be
honest one of the things we do most often is go to the cinema
because that is something he’s able to do.”
Kelly was wondering how they could make this happen in such a
short time, when a friend suggested they hold a charity evening
to fundraise to take William on his trip of a lifetime.
“It just took off from there. Leasowe Castle Hotel offered us their
venue for the night and we started being offered some amazing
raffle prizes and memorabilia for an auction. The hotel gave us
a prize of an overnight stay with dinner, we’ve got tickets for
Chester Races, signed artwork, meet and greets, signed football
memorabilia all kinds of things!”
The evening takes place on Saturday 9th June 2018 and there will
be a casino, music and dancing along with a buffet, entertainment
and the raffle and auction.
“William will be there for a little while on the night.” Kelly says.
“And we really want people to come, enjoy themselves and have
fun. Our hope is that we’ll raise enough money so that we will be
able to take William to the travel agents and book his superhero
trip, so we can go the day after his 9th birthday on the 19th
August."
