Donal Walsh touched so many lives when he came to prominence through his writings and subsequent appearance on television. He fundraised tirelessly while battling cancer and, following his passing 2013, his parents Fionnbar and Elma set up the foundation to promote his anti-suicide #Livelife message.
The foundation assists in his other causes of providing age appropriate teenage facilities in hospital and hospice care centres.
