'There is healing in all things': Grieving dad donates funds raised in son's memory

Matthew Healy died in February and his dad James this weekend presented almost €40,000 to Make A Wish

In the depths of his grief, he clings to the memories of days like this and finds solace knowing that some good has come from his immense tragedy.

Grieving dad, James Healy, said he is convinced his beloved son, Matthew, who died in tragic circumstances in Waterford last February, aged just six, helped arrange the glorious sunshine on Saturday for the handover of almost €40,000, raised in his memory in Cork this summer, to Make A Wish, the charity that makes dreams come true for children with life-threatening illnesses.
