Our
Inspiration
In 1989 a National Children of Courage Award was made to a young
girl from the North East called Joanne Gillespie. Joanne, who
was 11, had endured 2 major operations and fought back against
a recurring brain tumour.
In order
to help other children who would go through such experiences
Joanne turned the diary of her recovery into a book. It was
published in 1989 under the title "Brave Heart".
It immediately received public acclaim as an inspiration to
other sick children and their families. It led not only to
the Children of Courage Award, but also to Joanne being presented
in the spring of 1989 with a North East personality Award. |
