Series 1: 1. I Smell a Rat



In 2010, poorly 16-year-old Megan Bhari decides to launch a charity for seriously ill children. She’s battling a brain tumour, and knowing the toll illness can take, she decides to devote her life to creating fairy-tale experiences that might help children to forget, even briefly, that they’re sick.\n \nBelieve in Magic becomes an immediate success. Inspired by Megan’s courage and self-sacrifice, celebrities and her beloved One Direction are more than willing to donate their time and money to the cause. And when her mother, Jean, posts news that Megan’s health has deteriorated and she needs expensive treatment in America, countless families and celebrity supporters rally around to support Meg. Together, they raise the money needed overnight.\n\nHowever, in an online chat, some parents whose own children have been treated for cancer abroad begin asking questions.
