Starlight is a charity that brightens and transforms the lives of over 500,000 sick children in the UK per year with life threatening illnesses, providing fun and entertainment in hospitals and hospices. Starlight aims to distract children from pain, fear and isolation. Children can also be granted a once in a lifetime wish so that they can fulfill their dreams.

Starlight provides parties, pantomimes, escapes, fun centres and distraction boxes filled with toys and puzzles for worrying medical procedures in hospital wards throughout the UK to entertain children.

This is Chelsie’s story. Sadly, Chelsie was born with a life shortening disease called Cystic
Fibrosis that seriously affects the internal organs. When she was four years old, Chelsie fell in love with dance and she wished to dance on the West End Stage in London. It was a big challenge for Starlight, but they granted Chelsie’s wish and put together a pantomime, Cinderella: The shoe must go on! The wish changed her life forever as she danced the foxtrot with professional dancer, Benny, performing in front of 1200 people! It was the best day of her life and gave her something exciting to remember during the hard times.  It gave inspiration to her family too, to carry on.

Why should you care? Because it could happen to any child!
