Ryan To The Rescue: Dane's heart of gold

Loading player...
Through our friends at Reach for A Dream, we met 8 year old Dane. He is a gentle, loving and selfless little boy with a heart of gold. He has a condition called adrenoleukodystrophy. Despite his challenges he’s always thinking about ways he can help others and make the world a better place. With all the time he’s spent in hospital, his family hasn't had a chance to enjoy a getaway together in a long time, and he just wants to be with the people he loves most, making memories. Nikki Varden from The President Hotel heard about his story and was more than happy to help make Dane's dream come true.
