Donal Walsh #Livelife Foundation
Donal Walsh was from county Kerry. He touched so many lives when he came to prominence through his writings and subsequent appearance on Brendan O’Connor’s ‘The Saturday Night Show’ on RTÉ Television. Donal who fund raised tirelessly while battling cancer has now had the Donal Walsh #Livelife Foundation set up by his family primarily in order to promote his anti-suicide #Livelife message.
