Teen's final wish to come true four months after tragic death

The dying wish of a "brave and determined" boy is about to come true thanks to an outpouring of generous donations from the Merseyside public.

George Galbraith, from Halewood, died of rhabdomyosarcoma - a rare form of cancer affecting the soft tissue - on August 16, four months before he had the chance to fulfil his dream of handing out Christmas presents to other young patients at Alder Hey Children's Hospital.

His mum Paula Surridge set up a fund-raiser in his memory in the hope of raising £3,000 to make her son's final wish come true.
