We are fortunate to have a dedicated group of parents who have generously shared their stories to support us and others. In recognition of their commitment and bravery, we call them our Gidget Angels.

In her honour, her family and friends created Gidget Foundation Australia, which evokes Gidget’s warmth and lively spirit.
