In the film, Ralph Breaks the
Internet, Ralph and Vanellope von Schweetz travel into the
internet to find a new steering wheel for her arcade game and
discover one on eBay - but they need to raise $27,001 to buy it.
Inspired by this, Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Binky Felstead will be auctioning their
much-loved items to the highest bidder to raise the same amount.
DanTDM, who also voices eBoy in the UK version of Ralph Breaks
The Internet, will be encouraging fans to donate £1 through
Make-A-Wish UK and DanTDM will arrange a personalised thank you by
featuring their name in the credit roll of his video due for
release on 13th December.
100% of proceeds will go to Make-A-Wish®UK, to grant
wishes to seriously ill children. Items up for sale by celebrities
include:
DanTDM - Limited-edition t-shirts and posters featuring
DanTDM as a Disney character

of money on eBay. Good luck to those who bid!," says Sophie

"As a massive Disney fan and an avid eBay shopper I couldn't
wait to donate some items to this auction and raise money for such
a good cause. I love Disney films and when Ralph Breaks the
Internet it shows the positive power of what can happen when people
come together - so I'm asking everyone to get involved, help us hit
our target and be inspired by Ralph and Vanellope to make wishes
come true for children with critical illnesses," says Binky Felstead.
Rob Hattrell, Vice President, eBay UK said: "We can't tell you
if Vanellope succeeds in raising the money in the film - no
spoilers! - but we're hoping to smash our fundraising target for
Make-A-Wish UK."
In addition to this activity, Disney and eBay are donating
£10,000 and £5,000 respectively to Make-A-Wish UK.
