Founder and Chair of Trustees, Eddie O’Gorman OBE

Eddie O’Gorman OBE founded the charity with his late wife Marion in memory of their two children, Paul and Jean, who tragically both died of cancer in 1987. Since then, he has devoted his life to fighting childhood cancer.

Eddie was made an Honorary Fellow of University College London in recognition of the charity’s contribution to cancer sciences in the UK. He was awarded an OBE in the 2010 New Year’s Honours List, a much-deserved tribute to his compassion, and commitment.

In October 2018, Eddie received the Pride of Britain Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of a life devoted to fighting childhood cancer. His work has had an undeniable impact on childhood cancer helping to save thousands of young lives.
