For those who are new around here, here is how George's Rockstars came to be!👇
⭐️Our Story⭐️
Gorgeous George was diagnosed with leukaemia at just 22 months old in November 2014. During his near 5 year battle, he sadly relapsed 4 times and after having all the treatment there was available including high dose chemotherapy, total body and cranial radiotherapy, bone marrow transplant and revolutionary CART T cell therapy, George passed away at home in August 2019, surrounded by his family.
George adored music and nature and had a huge zest for life and an infectious smile and character.
Through intensive treatment at Bristol Children’s Hospital, music therapy was the highlight of George’s week and George’s parents saw how happy the children on the ward were when the music therapist came around. It gave a then 4-year-old George a way to express his feelings of frustration.
However, music therapy isn’t widely available in NHS hospitals so George’s family wanted to set up the charity to bring music therapy to more children in hospital, many of which also have serious and/or life limiting illnesses/disabilities and like George, spend too much of their childhood in hospital.
...and in March 2020, ‘George’s Rockstars’ was officially born!✨
Our work so far includes bringing music therapy to Queen Alexandra Hospital, Portsmouth, in 2021, and within a year, growing to cover 4 hospitals across Hampshire including Basingstoke, Winchester, and the Piam Brown Children’s Oncology Ward at Southampton Children’s Hospital.
Today, we are still continuing our mission of making music therapy available in even more children’s hospital wards around the UK – and we are so proud of the work we do.
