On Christmas Day 2013, three-year-old Georgia Fieldsend had been on holiday with her family when she suffered a fatal brain aneurysm. One minute she was paddling in the sea, the next she had collapsed at the shoreline on the way back to the hotel.
She was taken to the local hospital and then air-lifted to King’s College Hospital, but the team were unable to save her.
In the middle of profound shock and grief, Georgia’s parents Ilse and James made the difficult decision to donate their precious daughter’s organs. In this way, Georgia went on to save the lives of four children and allow two young men to have their sight.
Determined to turn their grief into the gift of life, the Fieldsends continue to fundraise for seriously unwell children and raise awareness of the importance of organ donation to keep saving lives.
The Georgia Sandy Fieldsend fund has raised nearly £40,000 for unwell children. Please donate today to keep taking care further in Georgia’s memory.
