The morning also included a deeply touching address from David Crowe, father of Sarah Crowe, who bravely shared the story of his daughter’s battle with Alpers disease. His heartfelt words on honouring Sarah’s memory through open conversation left the audience deeply moved.

Speaking about the panel of guests, he noted they represent “the strength, determination, and resilience we see in the families we serve every day”.

Cliona’s Foundation continues its vital work supporting families of children with life-limiting conditions, ensuring that no family faces their journey alone.

Since its launch, Cliona’s Foundation has raised more than €4.5 million and has supported over 1500 families across 31 Counties. Some of the costs covered by the donation to a family vary from rent, food, utility bills to transportation for chemotherapy or alternative therapies, to a treat for a sibling and even covering the cost of a child’s funeral.
