Our sad loss

Our co-founder, Marion O'Gorman, passed away peacefully in her sleep on Saturday 18th July 2009.

"We are deeply saddened by the sudden death of Marion O'Gorman.

Through this charity they founded, Marion and Eddie have helped change the lives of thousands of children."

Marion's gentle compassion and dignity will continue to inspire our work.
