Dreams Come True
With Desmond Wilcox.
Margaret Hayles is a woman who creates magic - a real life fairy godmother. She even looks like the sort of person you'd turn to if you wanted your dream to come true. In eight years, Margaret has waved her wand for more than 1,000 children, all of them severely ill. She's fixed visits to pop stars and sporting heroes, arranged holiday trips to Disneyland, even found a fluffy kitten for one little girl. While The Visit filmed, she created a glamour wedding and reception for a girl suffering from leukaemia who was marrying her childhood sweetheart; arranged a trip to Lapland for two desperately ill children to meet Santa; and for Graham Press, his leg amputated because of cancer, she arranged a visit to New York to see Michael Crawford in Phantom of the Opera.
