About

The event is to raise money for Rosabel’s Rooms a cause established by parents Suzanne McClean and Gary Monroe in memory of their beloved daughter Rosabel who died suddenly and unexpectedly in April 2017, aged only sixteen months.

Rosabel’s Rooms is a family-focused bereavement support group with suites in hospitals around Ireland designed and developed in collaboration with the Design & Dignity project at the Irish Hospice Foundation.

Rosabel’s Rooms will also provide therapeutic and financial supports for individuals impacted by child loss. The Room-to-heal fund will provide direct financial support for families in the aftermath of child loss, assisting families to take time off work, pay for the funeral costs, and more.
