Ducks of all shapes and sizes scattered around Bray, Co Wicklow in memory of Georgia Murphy, age 13, who died following an asthma attack last week.
At Georgia’s funeral yesterday mourners were given a piece of chalk and encouraged by her parents Janet and Niall (a founder of Broadsheet) to draw a picture of a duck (Georgia’s nickname) around Bray and elsewhere (more at link below).
You can donate €2 to the Asthma Society of Ireland by texting BREATH to 50300, attaching a duck image if possible.
Epic and heartbreaking.
RIP Duck
Ah.
Sad news. So sorry for your loss.

So sad. I saw her death on the newspaper yesterday, it said following a tragic episode and I wondered what that might have been. So frightening for all concerned. RIP.

Jesus, I was watching something on asthma recently.. Not sure which Irish channel it was, or what programme.. but they were saying how prevalent it is and how serious.
Must have been something to do with this –
