Dahl charity delivers a Marvellous day out

Jordan and Michael Day, who were forced to go part time from work to support their son Zeb, were among 15 families taken to the Hyde Park attraction for some muchneeded festive fun.

Their eldest boy Isaiah, eight, and daughter Elodie, five, spent the day zooming around on the rides thanks to organisers Winter Wishes and Roald Dahl's Marvellous Children's Charity, which the Daily Express is supporting with our Christmas charity appeal for 2024.

Little Zeb has a genetic condition called Cat Eye Syndrome, which meant he needed heart reconstruction and brain surgery at just six days old. In spite of having a complex illness, he's a happy little boy who loves music and being with people.
