Our Belle
At the tender age of two, Belle received a diagnosis of an interstitial lung disease. Despite her condition, she managed to lead a relatively normal life with the aid of various medications. However, by the time she turned eight, her health had declined significantly, necessitating the use of a wheelchair and constant oxygen support. Subsequently, she was placed on the waiting list for a double lung transplant at Great Ormond Street Hospital. For two long years Belle and her family hoped for the call that would change her life there were no calls regarding available organs. Tragically, at the age of ten, Belle's body could no longer withstand the struggle, and she lost her brave battle leaving behind a legacy of courage and love.
What is Belle’s Story?
We are an established charity, united by a heartfelt mission and supported by a remarkable team of four trustees alongside a compassionate community of volunteers.
Our organisation is deeply rooted in the love and admiration we have for Belle, a remarkable individual whose spirit and generosity have profoundly touched our lives. Despite facing her own significant challenges, Belle always found the strength to help those around her, embodying the true essence of kindness and compassion. Her selfless acts of giving continue to inspire us every day.
Belle's Story is a beautiful tribute to her legacy. It is our heartfelt commitment to honour her wishes by raising awareness about the importance of organ donation and advocating for the needs of young individuals living shorter lives.
Through our efforts, we aim to create a supportive community that reflects Belle’s generous spirit, providing resources, hope, and encouragement to those who need it most. Together, we carry forward her mission of love and compassion, making a difference in the lives of many.
