Zaidee's Foundation

Lacrosse Victoria is very proud to continue its partnership with the Zaidee Foundation.

Zaidee's Rainbow Shoelaces are the symbol of the Zaidee's Rainbow Foundation to create national awareness for organ and tissue donation.

Zaidee was the only child in Victoria under the age of 16 years and we have been told one of the youngest Australians to donate her organs and tissues in 2004. She was only I of 6 children nationally to donate their organs.

Zaidee's Story is directed towards both children and adults so they can think about others who are waiting for a life saving operation and a suitable match for an organ or tissue.

Think about giving this gift to others so they can live a better life and in some cases, just to live. Zaidee's gift of her organs to others will allow them to have another birthday.

1 in 5 people on the transplant waiting list may never get this chance to have another birthday if people do not become registered donors.

The symbol is representative of hope after every storm, the sun shines and there is a rainbow. For those people on the transplant waiting list, the rainbow symbol offers them hope. At the end of their rainbow is an organ or tissue to improve their life - or in most cases - save their life.
