That’s because their Dream Chaser Foundation is Moses Mackay’s chosen charity, and he’s going all-out to win as much money for them as possible.
“We’re just thrilled,” says Keri (35), adding they’re delighted that he’s not only helping with raising funds, but also awareness of what they do.
“Being selected for such a high-profile television series is amazing for us. We are a grassroots charity, we do everything ourselves. To be selected is so cool and we can’t thank Moses enough.”
The foundation, which supports children with cancer and their families, was set up in memory of their son Chace, who died of acute myeloid leukaemia in 2012, aged three.
“After Chace died, we were left with this complete emptiness, trying to figure out what to do next,” says Keri. “We didn’t have any other children at the time and we were at a loss. When you have done everything you can to save your child and it has failed, you start thinking, What is the point? You go to some pretty dark places.
“We dealt with it by trying to help other parents going through the same thing, and the charity sprang up pretty soon after.”
