The Grace Nolan Foundation is a non profit organisation and registered charity formed by Michael and June Nolan in November 1999, and was inspired by the short but ebullient life of their daughter Grace, who died, aged 9, from Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT).

This website was established by the Grace Nolan Foundation in November 2003. The site is a non-medical web publication, and it's main purpose is to seek support for the Foundation and it's ideals, and to highlight it's fundraising activities and products. These, in turn, assist the Foundation in achieving it's objectives.
