Tom Fletcher Instagram – Once upon a time, Tom Fletcher awoke with a vision of a blue dinosaur, pulling a young boy in a wheelchair through the sky, like a reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh. He had wanted to write a children’s book, and this image turned out to be the perfect starting point. There was just one problem: Fletcher had no idea what it was like to be a disabled child, and did not know anyone who used a wheelchair. Fletcher turned to Whizz Kidz, the UK’s leading charity for disabled young people, for help. Almost a decade later, he is a patron for Whizz Kidz, and, last month, published the sixth instalment of the books, A Christmasaurus Carol. 🔓 This story is free to read The Times and The Sunday Times are joining forces and urging readers to dig deep for three charities in this year’s Christmas appeal.
