Young patient crochets her way to incredible fundraising goal
Young fundraiser Georgia Murray has raised a fantastic £100 by crocheting flowers and selling them on to her friends and family.
Back in December 2017, Georgia was diagnosed with a rare but benign brain tumour, and in May 2018 she underwent surgery to remove it, under the care of Mr Andrew Kay and Mr Richard Irving.
Thankfully, Georgia made a full recovery, and was discharged just nine days later. Unfortunately, Georgia had to be readmitted to hospital in August 2018 as she had an infection in her skull.
During her time recovering in hospital, she decided that she wanted to do something to say thank you to the hospital where she was treated, and she began crocheting flower badges.
Thanks to her incredible crocheting skills, Georgia raised an incredible £100 which she has decided to donate to The Giles’ Trust.
The Giles’ Trust funds research and equipment for brain tumour patients at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham, helping to lead the fight into brain tumours.
Jess Harris, Fundraising Hub Officer at QEHB Charity, said: “Huge thanks go to Georgia for raising such an amazing amount of money and working so hard to crochet all of the beautiful flowers!
“The money she has raised will help patients at QEHB with brain tumours, as we will be able to continue to fund research that could change the way that we treat brain tumours.”
