Charity swim planned by twin who shook off a crocodile

A lady rescued her twin sister from a crocodile and now she wants to swim to raise money for people with PTSD.

Georgia Laurie, who is 30 years old and from Sandhurst in Berkshire, hit the crocodile in the face when it attacked her twin sister Melissa in Mexico in June 2021.

Melissa is feeling better, but Georgia said they both still feel the mental effects of the attack.

She said they really wanted to do something good after what happened.

The twins were swimming in a lagoon near Puerto Escondido, when Melissa was pulled under the water.

Both of them were taken to the hospital. There, Melissa got very sick with sepsis and had to be put into a coma by the doctors.

Georgia said she is not having many lasting physical problems, but it is taking her longer to feel better mentally.

Both of them have had disconnection because of PTSD.

Georgia said you feel like you’re stuck and frozen.

She said they wanted to “help other people. ” But she wants to do something “more physically challenging” than a regular race.

“She said we want to swim for charity. ”

She said they wanted to collect money for a mental health organization in the UK to help people with PTSD, and also for a charity in Mexico.

“I have always had problem with my mental health for many years,” she said.

“I want to help others because the community helped us, and we want to give back. “
