I would absolutely love for as many of our existing kind supporters and friends & new partners to join us as we take this journey together to ultimately reach out to more Irish families, we know the need is greater than ever. We believe that Charlotte’s previous experience and passion for Cliona’s cause will be instrumental in achieving this goal”.
