The mother of a teenager from Kerry whose terminal cancer inspired him to exhort his peers not to take their own lives, has urged those with depression to seek help early.

Some people are entering 2014 because of teenager Donal Walsh’s exhortation to live life to the maximum, a coroner has said.

A street collection in memory of inspirational teenager Donal Walsh during the Rose of Tralee Festival realised €12,500.

Rose of Tralee visitors are set to give thousands of euro today in honour of a cancer sufferer whose fight touched the hearts of the nation.

The family of Kerry teenager Donal Walsh has set up a foundation in his honour to preserve his memory and promote the causes that punctuated his short, yet vibrant, life.
