Sponsor — In memory of Georgie Murray

Sometimes, a donation for a pair of Supershoes comes from a place of sadness. Sometimes, despite everyone’s best efforts, the fight is too much for a Super-brave child. Gemma, Georgie’s mum, sums it up perfectly. “You provided some amazing Supershoes for our 11-year-old daughter, Georgie. Sadly, she passed away before receiving them, but it was the one thing she really was excited for and looking forward to during the tough treatments for Leukemia. She passed away at the end of induction, as her body couldn’t cope with the harsh side effects from the treatments. She deserved the Supershoes and I know would have absolutely loved them so much. There isn’t much for children to look forward to with cancer treatment and this was one thing that really captured her interest and she was very excited for.” Your words about how excited Georgie was for her Supershoes touched us all profoundly. She deserved them. She deserved every spark of joy, every moment of brightness, in the middle of such a cruel and difficult journey. It means so much to know that, even in those tough days, the thought of her Supershoes gave her something to look forward to. We will always carry that with us. And now another child will have Supershoes to look forward to. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.
