'Inspirational' Heidi-Lou, 9, with cerebral palsy targets first steps thanks to mega-mission

She is one of hundreds of children whose lives have been changed thanks to a father keeping alive the memory of his daughter. But the support Heidi-Lou Decieco has received from a Salford charity will hopefully one day enable her to walk.

The charity, Georgia's Children of the World, has raised an astonishing £350,000 since it was set up by Steve Murray from Worsley, after his daughter, Georgia Louise Murray, died aged 19, in 2010 due to a heart condition. It stages the annual G-Festival a summer musical festival.

This Saturday the G-Festival is back after being postponed for two years due to the pandemic. It will be held at The Waterside in Monton with music throughout the day and into the evening, from 1pm until 11pm. But Heidi-Lou, who has cerebral palsy, will benefit from three friends who completed a tough challenge to raise £7,000 for the charity.
