UK Veteran's Dying wish was to goto Disney World

A UK veteran who is dying from cancer was given a family trip to Walt Disney World thanks to the Sunday People and British Airways.

Lee Earnshaw, 43, was given just months to live and his dying wish was to visit Disney World with his wife and children.

The family was given business class seats thanks to British Airways and stayed the Hilton Orlando Buena Vista Palace in Disney Springs, they even got to meet Mickey and Minnie Mouse.

Lee, who was diagnosed with stage 4 incurable stomach cancer last June, with his wife Natalie set up a crowd-funding page to help them enjoy the honeymoon they never had at Disney World and for some household upgrades to help with his illness.

The family got to visit the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios and even Disney’s Animal Kingdom. His son loved the rides and his daughter especially loved meeting Mickey, Minnie, and Pluto.

Here are some of the photos from their visit.

I would like to thank the British Army veteran for his service and our thoughts are with his family during this very difficult time.

We are glad Lee and his family got to experience the magic of Disney that we all love so much.
