She said "They feel they have a relationship with the area and that is underpinned by the twinning of Phoenix (in Arizona, where the couple live) and Ennis. They have been supported by the sister cities project which also sees the exchange of young students from Phoenix to Clare and vice versa, and the exchange of ideas between the two places. "

She continued "I feel inspired by Delia and Kelly and how they have turned their personal tragedy into something that benefits and helps so many people every year."

Speaking last Sunday Delia said "It warms our heart to see how many people have benefited from having Nicholas’ Room on site at such a highly visited spot as the Cliffs of Moher. To know that it is here is so important to us and our family and friends and the community that support us in our fundraising in Phoenix."

As a travel profesional who sells Ireland, has a cottage in Leap, and lives in Phoenix, I can see the beauty and warmth of the Irish to this wonderful couple in the loss of their child, and what an everlasting connection to sweet baby Nicholas!
As a perinatal/OB/Nicu nurse who love Ireland,and the Cliffs of Moher, I am touched by this story.
What a touching story...there is, indeed, a silver lining to every tragedy. What special people are involved in this one.
