Dan is celebrating his 40th Birthday on the 2nd of march and due to unforeseen circumstances, nothing has been booked. What we want for Dan is for him to have a memorable birthday with 40 been a "milestone" birthday.
As yet we have not been able to plan but want to arrange a birthday party with family meal as well as an experience day on the heritage railway he visits. He also wants a particular model locomotive to add to his collection and it is the last he needs for his collection.
The experience day 6am til 6pm is £1200 alone. He has had a life long passion for heritage railways and we hop this experience day is the final push to get him to volunteer weekly and follow his passion. The model he needs is currently available on eBay for a reasonable price and this is the first seen on the site for 6 years. It's expected price is no more than £100.
The rest of the fund will be used to pay for transport of family who are further away and the meals for the birthday boy and his partner and kids and his parents
Two years ago we nearly lost Dan if he hadn't received emergency surgery and his recovery has taken 18 months.
