Inspirational cancer patient has channelled her energy into helping others and raised an incredible £51,000 despite her condition

My main aim is to help others going through the same thing... hospital can be a scary place

IN December 2023, when she was just 15-years-old, Georgie went to the doctor with leg pain and they initially thought it was a stress fracture.

The fracture wasn’t healing and, after an MRI and CT scan, she was diagnosed with Ewing sarcoma - a rare cancer which occurs in the bones or in the soft tissue around them.

Determined not to let cancer get the better of her, Georgie immedi ately looked to help others by agree ing to donate her tissue to Cancer Research and vowing to fundraise.

In the months after her diagnosis she raised more than £15,000 for the Schiehallion Ward at the Royal Hospital for Children in Glasgow, the Teenage Cancer Trust and Marion's House.
