Day 70 07/06/08 "One Object 365 Days Project" Zaidee Rose Alexander Turner - aged 7 years and 22 days died suddenly on 2nd December 2004 from a burst blood vessel in her brain called a Cerebral Aneurism.
The Turner family have been registered Organ and Tissue Donors for 5 years. As a result Zaidee donated her Organs and Tissues at the Royal Children's Hospital as were her wishes at the time.
Zaidee was the only child in Victoria under the age of 16 years and we have been told one of the youngest Australians to donate her organs and tissues in 2004. She was only I of 6 children nationally to donate their organs.
Zaidee's Story is directed towards both children and adults so they can think about others who are waiting for a life saving operation and a suitable match for an organ or tissue. Think about giving this gift to others so they can live a better life and in some cases, just to live.
Zaidee’s gift of her organs to others will allow them to have another birthday. 1 in 5 people on the transplant waiting list may never get this chance to have another birthday if people do not become registered donors.
The symbol is representative of hope after every storm, the sun shines and there is a rainbow. For those people on the transplant waiting list, the rainbow symbol offers them hope. At the end of their rainbow is an organ or tissue to improve their life - or in most cases - save their life.
In 2004 160,000 Australians died. Only 218 were Organ and Tissue Donors.
Concept of Shoelaces
Zaidee's Rainbow Shoelaces idea has been developed by Kim and Allan Turner parents of Zaidee to raise awareness. It is their goal that Zaidee's legacy and memory will deliver a national message.
Zaidee the Rainbow Poncho Bear has been released in recognition of Zaidee's Rainbow Foundation
