Make-A-Wish made a dream come true for 13-year-old Sussex resident Andrew Day, whose mother Jackie is the clarinet player in the band. As an avid Lego fan, Andrew, his parents and his sister were all flown to Denmark for four nights where they stayed in the Lego hotel, had a tour of the Lego factory and were also lucky enough to meet the Lego designers.

 

Jackie Day commented:

"Andrew has neuroblastoma, which is a rare form of children's cancer and, Make-A-Wish not only made Andrew feel so special, but the experience was amazing for us all as a family. This would never have happened without them and it's something that Andrew will remember forever."

 

Rob Sadler, of Chandlers Building Supplies' Petworth branch and member of the band, commented:

“This is such a worthy cause and I am glad that both Chandlers Building Supplies and the Petworth Town Band were able to do something to help raise such a great amount of money for them. I would really like to thank everyone that came and supported the event."
