Georgina Grace Trust

Introduction

The Georgina Grace Trust was founded in 2005 after the founding trustees’ daughter, Georgina Grace, was born with CMV (Cytomegalovirus). CMV is a common viral infection occurring throughout the world. In Europe 60% of people have had the infection by adulthood. However, CMV can infect babies in the womb (congenital infection), as in Georgina Grace’s case, which has left her with left sided hemiplegia (a weakness in the left side of her body similar to the affects of a stroke), visual impairment and slight brain damage. In addition, Georgina has had a stroke.

The extensive care that both Georgina Grace and her family are receiving has promoted her parents to seek a way to repay those involved with her care. Thus the Georgina Grace Trust was founded.

The Georgina Grace Trust aims to help existing charities who work with disabled and special needs children throughout Yorkshire and the Humber.

At present, the Georgina Grace Trust is helping:

It is the desire of the Georgina Grace Trust to raise as much money as possible to support these worthy causes and does so through arranging a number of high profile events each year.
