Georgie's story

At just two years old, Georgie was diagnosed with leukaemia and spent 50 weeks in hospital away from her twin sister, Lillie. 

“The twins had never been separated,” Georgie's mum Courtney said. “It was impossible for them to understand why they were suddenly apart.”  

Thanks to your kind support, Georgie’s Starlight Wish for a gold retriever puppy named Sadie gave something positive to focus on to help her through the toughest days.  

"Georgie was so excited. Her wish gave her something positive to focus on that wasn't about cancer. Every morning she’d ask if today’s the day the puppy was coming!” shared Courtney.   

Today, Sadie continues to bring happiness, laughter and precious family moments.
