Gidget's Story
Remembering Gidget
Gidget left the world too early, though she has left a remarkable legacy. In the words of Gidget’s Mum, Sue Cotton, “Gidget Foundation Australia came into being because of Louise, but it’s not about my little girl anymore. Gidget Foundation Australia is all about the other ‘Gidgets’ and guys out there suffering. Let’s all do whatever we can to get them to start talking.”

The Gidget Gerbera
If you look closely at our logo you will see that this gorgeous red gerbera is in fact flawed; it's imperfect. The petals aren't uniform, they're different lengths and they're a bit wonky.
There are a million representations of a perfect gerbera if you Google them. But our own flawed gerbera expresses warmth, love and beauty, as well as our perfect imperfections. It is, in fact, a splendid red gerbera in full bloom.
