Get George Home

LARA ON SUNDAY 
24TH OCTOBER 2021
 
Matt and I spoke to Oliver Dupuy about the fundraiser for 11 year old George Baily.  Following a life changing accident at home earlier this year George was left with a brain injury and after 14 weeks at St Georges Hospital, (three of them in intensive chare) George is currently at a specialist rehabilitation unit at the Children's Trust in Tadworth.  A fundraiser has been set up to Bring George home to his family in Camberley and it has been very well supported with a massive sum raised for adaptations to Georges house and his on going support when he does come home.
