Thanks John and Pauline

John O'Hare, former Chair of PITY IIWe are very sorry to have to give you the news that John O'Hare, Chair of PITY II resigned in February. John joined the executive of PITY II in March 2000 and took over the position of Chair in July 2001. John worked very hard to represent every child involved in organ retention from pre-term babies to young adults.

John earned the respect of everyone he came into contact with. His great wish is for a change in the Law, so that what happened to our children can never happen again.

Pauline, his wife, joined the executive in August 2002, but was working with us long before that time, has also resigned. Pauline worked alongside John and was just as passionate and hardworking. Their resignations were for personal reasons.

Both John and Pauline worked very hard in contributing to the work of PITY II.
So John and Pauline what can I say but, Thank You.

It has been a privilege to work with you and call you friends. We are sorry that we have lost you. Please be with us when we celebrate the change in the Law.

Take care, love and best wishes to you both,

Alice and the PITY II Executive.

Following the resignation of John O'Hare as Chair, Alice Procter, formerly Vice-Chair, will now be acting as Chair. Alice wants to reassure everybody that she will continue to represent PITY II and it's members in the manner of those who have gone before her, with the interests of all those involved in organ retention as her main priority.

PITY II (Parents who have Interred Their Young Twice) is the parents' support group set up in the wake of the organ retention scandal
