Shape I’m In: Majella O’Donnell

Majella O’Donnell is still catching up with herself. First there was the shock of the breast cancer diagnosis in 2013. 

Then, just after her first session of chemotherapy, came the very public response: to shave her hair for charity on The Late Late Show. The live event received a standing ovation from the audience and raised a stunning €600,000 for the Irish Cancer Society.

It was a turning point. Largely known up until then as the wife of the famous crooner Daniel, her brave gesture showed her grit and grace under pressure.
