Les Hoey was inspired to bring joy to children with serious illnesses after his daughter was diagnosed with leukaemia in 1992.
More than 30 years later, the Les Hoey Dreammaker Foundation is still making wishes come true by arranging meet and greets, concert tickets, donating iPads and much more. To raise money for the charity, Shelly Ford and Tracy Smith, owners of Hank Marvin Larkhall are hosting a charity day.The cousins have recently taken over Hank Marvin Uddingston and are hosting a launch day on Monday, which will involve raffles.Shelly, 43, said: “Les will be taking on our ‘out of this world’ burger. We are not revealing what will be in it yet as it’s going to be a surprise.
“The Dreammaker Foundation is an amazing charity. We have the utmost respect for Les and his team, we back them 100% which is why we wanted to give something back.”In October, we revealed that the Dreammaker Foundation celebrated its 30th birthday.“But if we can take their minds off getting their treatment, that’s a big difference. I’ve seen kids get radiotherapy and you feel as if they’re not going to make a concert and sure enough, the parents phone you up and say that they’re raring to go.
“You know yourself, if you go to the dentist and come home you don’t want to go anywhere. But these kids, after getting gruelling radiotherapy and chemotherapy, they’re dancing at the concerts.”
