A grandma who has made the dreams of almost 2,000 poorly children come true has seen her own Christmas wish fulfilled.
Every year since the late 1990s, Maria Moseley has taken 100 children and their families to meet Father Christmas in Lapland. For much of that time, she has been suffering for acute macular degeneration (AMD), which can make patients go blind.
Now, Maria is celebrating ten years of treatment by thanking medics at the Manchester Royal Eye Hospital. The treatment has saved her eyesight, meaning that Maria, one of the founders of local charity When You Wish Upon a Star, which supports poorly children by giving them trips of a lifetime, has been able to continue with the children's trips to Lapland.
