Organ Donation for Daisy
12-May-06, Windsor Express Article.

I attended a fundraising day for Daisy Halfacre at Dedworth Green First School last Saturday.

Daisy is a pupil who is in urgent need of a liver transplant. The staff and Parent Teacher Association of the School did a wonderful job organising the event for Daisy. It was a great success and, in spite of a touch of rain, I was encouraged by the number of people who turned out in support, and delighted to help with the opening.

Daisy’s courage and determination in the face of illness is a lesson to us all and I was humbled by people’s generosity and their sense of community spirit.

Awareness of the need for organ donation has been heightened and many more people have been persuaded to consider donating an organ.

Events like this reaffirm my belief in the generous spirit of Windsor residents, who I am proud to represent.

I believe

People are happier when making their own decisions.

Business is the engine of the economy that generates our jobs, incomes and taxes.

Government should not interfere in our lives beyond protecting and defending us.
