You're a wizard Kerrie!

Kerrie's story

Kerrie was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma, a rare form of cancer that has made life challenging and has affected her confidence.

Kerrie's dream was to visit Warner Bros. Studio in London to explore the set of Harry Potter and discover what it was like for the characters to live in the wizarding world.

So, along with mum Jessica, we sent Kerrie to Hogwarts, The Great Hall and Diagon Alley.

She had a magical time saying "my absolute favourite part was seeing the beautiful hogwarts castle at the end, one of the workers at the studios told me to cover my eyes as I have never been here before, and she did it as a surprise for me. It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen".

"It was one of the best weekends I have had, and I would love to relive it all over again. Thank you so much [to] the whole dreams come true charity, it will be a experience that I’ll never forget." - Kerrie
