Dad Richard battles illness in the hope of a return to the snowy slopes
Yorkshire Evening Post
|September 05, 2025
A Leeds father-of-two who is battling multiple myeloma has reached the final of a competition to win a luxury ski holiday.
VIP SKI is offering the chance for someone to get back into skiing by putting up the prize of a stay in its brand-new luxury La Plagne property, the Graciosa.
The holiday company launched a search for those most deserving of a 'return to the slopes' from Britain's oldest and most terrified, to those who have stopped skiing due to illness or loss.
Of the 300 entries, Richard Haigh's story touched the hearts of the judges, earning him a place in the final five. The competition now goes to a vote with the public choosing the winner via VIP SKI's website.
This story is from the September 05, 2025 edition of Yorkshire Evening Post.
