RICK FLYNN PRESENTS: BONUS SHOW: Very Special Guest AMY O'SHAUGHNESSY - Co-Founder of "George's Rockstars, a not-for-profit charity. Also, a brand new #1 UK Single (South Coast Music Chart) and a brand-new music video (link here on this page). Amy O’Shaughnessy, Co-Founder of George’s Rockstars says “The song is in memory of our gorgeous boy George and is inspired by his journey with music therapy during treatment for childhood leukemia. We lost George in 2019 and we wanted to help other children like him who spend far too much time in hospital. Our mission is to bring music to every child in hospital across the UK.” George was diagnosed with leukaemia at just 22 months old in November 2014, aged just 22 months old. During his near 5-year battle, he sadly relapsed 4 times and after having all the treatment there was available including high dose chemotherapy, total body and cranial radiotherapy, bone marrow transplant and revolutionary CART T cell therapy, George passed away at home in August 2019, surrounded by his family. George adored music and nature and had a huge zest for life and an infectious smile and character. The charity was inspired by George’s experience with music therapy during intensive treatment at Bristol Children’s Hospital. Music therapy was the highlight of George’s week and gave a then 4-year-old George a way to express his frustrations and fears of being in isolation in hospital.
