The Snow Park helps to save Christmas

Santa came to town today by paying an early visit to one very special little girl in Gravesend – but this year, he’s not using his sleigh…
Jamie-Leigh Harrington is 11 years old and suffers from Lymphangiomatosis, a life-threatening disease that means this Christmas may be her last. As an early present, her parents decided to completely decorate the outside of their house – but Vandals heartlessly ruined the display at the weekend by cutting the power cables and stealing inflatable decorations.
To help make Jamie-Leigh’s wrecked Christmas complete, The Snow Park at Diggerland Kent provided 6 tonnes of freshly made snow, and promptly set about turning her front garden into a winter wonderland!
Conducted in secret (Jamie-Leigh was out visiting relatives with her parents) and armed with snow, a JCB 3CX, a broom and some shovels, the Snow Park reps were on hand to personally ensure Jamie-Leigh would now be the happiest youngster in Kent – and with the assistance of local businesses (who provided new Christmas Lights and Inflatables), Police and Fire Services, a brass band, Shears Green School and the local community, this little girl had her wish come true!
The icing on the day for everyone involved was seeing Jamie-Leigh’s face as a local Santa arrived with a sack-full of presents in the bucket of a Diggerland JCB 3CX!!
