Friends of Craylands School
The Friends of Craylands School the Friends support a local primary school where I live and raise money that is used to purchase play equipment and provide financial support for the not so well off children who would otherwise miss out on school trips etc. The friends play a vital part in the school community.
CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA.
CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA.
In February 1987, Paul O’Gorman died of leukaemia at the age of fourteen. Just nine months later, another devastating blow struck the O’Gorman family when Paul’s sister, Jean, was also lost to cancer.
Always a caring boy, Paul had made his parents promise to help other children with leukaemia and, within weeks of his death, they started fundraising. In November 1987, just days after Jean’s death, they met Diana, Princess of Wales. Deeply moved by the double tragedy, she personally helped establish and inaugurate this charity in January 1988.
What started as a small memorial charity is now the UK’s leading national charity dedicated to the conquest of childhood leukaemia through pioneering research, new treatment and support of leukaemic children and their families. Paul’s indomitable spirit continues to inspire the work of CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA.
