In
November 2006, John and Justine Perkins tragically lost their baby
daughter Olivia, at just 8 months old, to a rare illness. Their life,
as they knew it, came crashing down with the immense sadness and
numerous other mixed emotions that followed. This most devastating
time of John and Justine's life however has brought with it new meaning.
A gift, if you like, with a message - a message to positively enhance
the lives of children and their families in a significant way.
Founding
the Touched by Olivia Foundation is
a step towards realising the dream that will become
Olivia's legacy. In her short life, Olivia touched
many hearts.
It is John and Justine's
hope that Olivia will continue to touch many more
lives through the work undertaken by the Foundation. >> Click here
