Organizers of the 54th Sunshine DreamLift the third to fly out of Windsor said it an unforgettable experience, than just fun it their first chance to taste independence and experience adventure. For many like Kameron, it will be their first plane trip and their first day away from mom and dad.

Kameron Seguin is happy child, outgoing and very popular at school, said his dad, as well as an student who is taking advanced math and helping other students with their math.
Kameron also has no muscle Kevi... Norwood Jersey tissue in his arms or legs. He suffers from congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy, a genetic neurological disorder that, from birth, has caused damage to the peripheral nerves connecting the brain and spinal cord to muscles and sensory organs.
been pretty good we struggle just like anyone else, said Greg Seguin. The family has been well prepared for Kameron day of independence: don really have any concerns, said dad.
Kameron said he check the rides out, for sure, but he looking most forward to watching the world pass by from the window of a Boeing 737 window. He a little perturbed at missing some class time, but weighs that against the opportunity to shake hands with Mickey Mouse: year I wanted a perfect attendance, but, whatever, he said.

There will be as many support volunteers everyone from doctors and nurses to physiotherapists and other medical specialists as kids on the trip, and all will share an exceptionally long day. Tuesday and won be touching down again on home turf until midnight.
a wild adventure and a life changing experience for every participant, said Windsor businessman David Batten, president of Mio Manz Charities whose fundraising efforts are underwriting the estimated $160,000 cost of the Windsor DreamLift.
A number of the participants will require wheelchairs, special dietary needs, including feeding tubes for some, and constant supervision. Windsor doctors and nurses will staff an on site Disney clinic while the kids, ages seven to 17, get the front of line VIP treatment after a police escort to the home of the Magic Kingdom.

Asked whether mom nervous, Allison Kidd responded: gosh, yes. soothe parental nerves, and helping with the heavy lifting, will be 26 Windsor police officers volunteering their time on the trip.
