I am delighted to say that my guest on tonight's programme is Elma Walsh. Elma is the mother of the brave and inspirational Kerry teenager Donal Walsh. At 12 years old Donal was diagnosed with Osteo Sarcoma cancer and nine months of chemotherapy Donal came back to the playing field not as a trainer but as a coach to his peers. In February 2102 the Cancer returned, this time to his lung and Donal had to have half of his lung removed and endured another round of chemotherapy treatment until June

In October 2012 Donal was diagnosed for the third, and ultimately final, time with tumours in five places. On May 12 2013 Donal moved on to his final journey and reached “God’s Highest Mountain”. I speak to his mother about Donals cancer journey, his legacy and why suicide is not the answer to life's problems. Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
