FOUR very special youngsters and their families have been handed a dream holiday, thanks to kind-hearted donors and the Ebony Robinson Foundation.

The holidays for the quartet, who are all fighting life-limiting conditions, were made possible after Sandbanks’ Café Shore hosted a foundation fundraiser which netted a cool £30,000 earlier this month.

Foundation founder Adam Murry explained: “I met Ebony at Julia’s House children’s hospice, through my charitable work while a director at AFC Bournemouth.

“We quickly formed a very close relationship – Ebony even gave me away at my wedding two weeks ago.

“The foundation has been up and running for a year now and we work to help other children with AT.

“We are also an organisation that provides holidays and equipment for other terminally ill children.”

Ebony, aged 13, suffers from the debilitating disease Ataxia Telangiectasia.

Cherries midfielder Mark Molesley, who has supported the foundation since the outset, added: “This trip isn’t just for the children, it is as important to do something for these parents.”

Adam agreed: “Going through what they go through on a daily basis is tough.”

Deserving recipients will be off to top destinations

YOUNG Harry and Cody Churchill will take a Mediterranean cruise.

Poole parents Chris and Steph couldn’t believe it when they were nominated.

Harry, aged two, and 10-month-old Cody suffer from Epidermolysis Bullosa, a rare and painful genetic condition causing their skin to blister.

Steph said: “This trip still doesn’t feel real. We’d never have been able to do this without the foundation’s help.”

FOUR-year-old Ella Balestri, of Child Okeford suffers from a disease called Sanfilippo syndrome. Mum Sally said: “She’s my only child and there is no cure. We simply don’t know her life expectancy.”

They’re taking a Tenerife trip.

“I could never afford a holiday like this,” she said. “This means the world to me, it is amazing what the foundation is doing.”

EBONY Robinson will be visiting Finland to see the Northern Lights, Santa’s Grotto and even some real huskies.

She said: “The husky rides are going to be very exciting.”

Mum Lorna explained: “We first met Adam at Julia’s House. From that day on they just struck up this incredible friendship.”

Ebony’s genetic disorder affects her motor functions but her brain is the same as any other child’s.

Lorna said: “This trip has the things she’s always wanted to do. She is so excited.”
