Taxi To Disneyland For Sick Kids

16 October 2009

Youngsters went on a trip of a lifetime to Disneyland Paris in a convoy of licensed London taxis.

Eight seriously ill children from Havering went on the annual Children's Magical Taxi Tour to the adventure resort in France.

London Mayor Boris Johnson said: "The cabbies who give up their time and their earnings to take part in this annual armada are London's unsung heroes.

"Thanks to their hard work thousands of very ill children have enjoyed a quite wonderful break from their troubles."

The event, organised by the Worshipful Company of Hackney Carriage Drivers, is now in its 16th year. It saw 170 children taking part in the trip. It was paid for by sponsorship and the drivers give up their time without charge for the children.
