A nice moving story about dreams and people making a difference...
BRAVE little Erin Logue, was yesterday made a knight in shining armour to realise the dream of a lifetime.
The nine-year-old from Loughanure, Co Donegal, rode up on his steed to be given a sword of honour at a medieval investiture ceremony in a real castle -- Solis Lough Eske Castle near Donegal town.
It was the start of a special weekend which will include a banquet in his honour before he gets to "battle" his way through enemy knights on Monday to rescue a golden Labrador in another castle, the 500-year-old O'Donnell Castle in Donegal town. He will also judge a jousting contest and other knight events.
Erin's adventure of a lifetime was all made possible by the Make a Wish Foundation when it was told of Erin's dream by a nurse at Letterkenny General Hospital.
Erin has been battling a rare cancerous brain tumour for 18 months. His illness was one of only three of its kind seen by his surgeon in the past 20 years.
His amazing courage is being recognised after he revealed his favourite dreams -- to be a knight and to own a dog.
His mum Mary said: "Erin has bounced back from his illness well and is in great form these days."
