If you have ever witnessed a child - whose life is being stolen
away by a terrible illness then you'll know what suffering and
heartache is and recognise the absolute need to help us reach out
to these families and extend a hand of love and friendship.
This
is how the National Children of Courage Awards make a
difference. Through the years of working with children who
are suffering from life-threatening illness, chronic disease and
disability, Share a Dream has been struck by one trait, which
these children consistently share and this is Courage. And we
realise that such courage in the face of such challenges must not
go unrewarded and so we have established the
National Children of Courage Awards.
For
the past 6yrs Share a Dream has received thousands of nominations
from all over Ireland. Every year we have the extremely
difficult and heart-breaking task of choosing eight Children of
Courage from all these exceptionally brave and courageous children
who have been nominated.
At
the "Dream Ball" every year each of these 8 courageous
children are given a Share a Dream "National Child of
Courage" award. As part of their prize they travel on a
magical VIP trip along with their parents to experience some fun
and happiness for the first time in a very long time.
This
year's Dream Ball will be held in the Radisson
SAS Hotel, Limerick on Sat 22nd Nov. Tickets
are €120 each or €1000 for table of ten.
Bookings can be made
by contacting the Limerick office 061-214100 or email dreams@iol.ie
If
you know of a child with serious life threatening illness or
serious disability who has shown extraordinary courage, then why
not nominate them for a Share a
dream "National
Children of Courage Award". |
