A charity champion who has made dreams come true for hundreds of poorly children with Christmas trips to Lapland has thanked clinicians for saving her eyesight.
Back in the late 1990s, Maria Moseley, formerly from Stockport, was one of the founders of the north west charity 'When You Wish Upon a Star', which is dedicated to taking sick children on trips of a lifetime. For over 20 years, Maria has played a part in helping around 1,700 children to visit Father Christmas - magical trips and photographs often covered by the Manchester Evening News .
Specialist treatment the grandmother-of-five, now 75, received at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital's Oxford Road Campus meant she could continue organising the Lapland trips between 2012 and 2018. Maria started receiving her first injections for Acute Macular Degeneration (AMD), a condition which can make patients go blind, at the hospital back in 2012.
