Biography
Living in Dublin with his wife Jackie and their 3 children, Harry, Robbie and Molly, Benji is dedicated to bringing families closer by promoting “Adam’s Message” of the importance of family time filled with love, hugs and kisses.
While pursuing a successful career in sales and marketing, Benji and his family were struck with a life-changing tragedy when his 4-year old son Adam died suddenly and without warning from an undiagnosed Brain Tumour in 2007.
Before he died, Benji promised Adam that the world would know how beautiful and unique he was. Moments later, Benji was inspired and comforted by a simple positive thought he shared with his wife Jackie that would define their family’s life and future.
“We will survive this because we spent time with Adam and told him we loved him every day. We need to remember Adam by reminding parents to spend an extra 10 minutes of playtime and tell their children they are loved every day.”
This deeply inspired thought became a dynamic and revitalising source of hope, belief, spiritual energy, creativity, and motivation that would drive Benji to prioritise family time and establish Adam’s Cloud to encourage others to do the same.
On Adam’s 1st Anniversary, Benji published his first book, Before You Sleep and became a full time author.
The unexpected benefits of Benji’s unwavering dedication toward a single dominating goal provided him with answers to previously unanswerable questions:
1. How to possibly survive grief as individuals, as a couple, as a family?
2. How to provide for/ and raise happy children and protect them from grief so Adams’s death would not define their lives.
3. How could they ensure Adam would always be remembered.
Focusing on a single inspirational objective allowed Benji and his family to conquer their fears, overcome many challenges and build a magical, loving brand in their son’s name.
The Bennetts turned a tragic event into something beautiful and continue to remember their son in everything they do.
