Aims of the Foundation

Zaidee's Rainbow Foundation's first aim is to make organ and tissue donation awareness more prevalent in our community. By informing parents of the importance of discussing these issues with their children, should they ever be placed in the same situation as Kim and Allan Turner were, with Zaidee's sudden death.

Zaidee Rose Alexander Turner – aged 7 years and 22 days died suddenly on 2nd December 2004 from a burst blood vessel in her brain called a Cerebral Aneurism. Zaidee was the only child in Victoria under the age of 16 years to donate her organs and tissues in 2004 saving or improving the lives of up to seven others, 6 children and 1 adult.

The Foundation hopes to greatly improve the donation rate year upon year, allowing people currently on transplant waiting lists, a better chance in getting their transplant by encouraging people to register as Organ and Tissue Donors.

In the year Zaidee died, another 160,000 Australians also died. Only 218 people generously donated their organs or tissues. One in five Australians on the transplant waiting list die before they get a chance to receive a transplant. Currently there is between 1700 to 2000 people waiting to get that important call that the hospital has found a donor for their transplant.

The Foundation sells Zaidee's Rainbow Shoelaces around the nation as an awareness campaign. The requests and support received for this program are fantastic.

The cost will be $2.00 a pair sold in two different sizes.

If we can save another Child, Mother, Father, Brother or Sister who is on the transplant waiting list by telling Zaidee’s Story then we have achieved our goals.
