Sorcha’s family visited the new home, named Amy’s House, and were given a tour at the opening. They were then shown ‘Sorcha’s Room’. “We love the room,” said Sorcha’s mum Christina. “It is just fantastic and we are delighted that it will have her name and provide support for so many families.
“In a perfect world, great places like this wouldn’t be needed, because you wouldn’t have young people getting sick, but it is just a wonderful house,” she added.
The house name is a tribute to Amy Reid, 20, from Newtownards, whose family have campaigned and fundraised tirelessly for CLIC Sargent since she died from metastatic melanoma in February 2013, raising more than £35,000 for the charity.
