Georgia reached the bank, but as Melissa was being pulled up onto it by another member of the group the crocodile reappeared and dragged her under the water. Georgia, now 31, plunged into the water and twice fought off the reptile to save her twin sister, an extraordinary act of bravery for which she is now receiving the King’s Gallantry Medal. The award from King Charles III recognizes acts in which civilians put themselves at risk in an attempt to save someone else. It is a “silver lining to have come out of the terrible ordeal,” Georgia told the UK’s PA Media news agency. She sustained bite injuries to her hand, but the impact was hard enough that the crocodile eventually released her sister.

Bertie Pikington, un băiețel de 12 ani din Newbury, Marea Britanie, va renunța luna viitoare la impresionata sa podoabă capilară în scopuri caritabile. Am aflat de la o fetiță de vârsta mea despre cum e să suferi cancer și cum este să nu ai păr. Este vorba doar de a da înapoi, datorită faptului că eşti norocos că nu ai această boală”, a explicat băiețelul. O pagină JustGiving a fost creată de Bertie, cu o țintă inițială de strângere de fonduri de 550 de lire sterline. Creată în urmă cu 15 ani, organizația caritabilă oferă gratuit peruci copiilor și tinerilor de până la 24 de ani.
