BUMBLEance co-founders honour late daughter's 16th birthday with 16th new vehicle

Another new critical care ambulance is added to The Saoirse Foundation's fleet, helping children and families living with acute and terminal illness

Miriam O’ Callaghan (television current affairs presenter with RTÉ), the Heffernan’s, Elish Hardiman (CEO Children’s Health Ireland) and Dr Dermot Doherty attend the launch.

On a poignant anniversary for its co-founders, Mary and Tony Heffernan, children's medical charity The Saoirse Foundation has today launched the newest in its fleet of specially kitted-out ambulances, stationed around the country and ready to provide critical care for children and families around the country.

The Heffernans' daughter, Saoirse, passed away in January 2011 at the age of five — today would have been her sixteenth birthday.
