Belfast dad 'broken beyond repair' after daughter's death

The father of a talented young Belfast woman says his family is still hurting after her death three years ago.

On the anniversary of Eimear Gooderham's (Smyth) death, people from across Northern Ireland remembered her and shared their experiences of the 25-year-old. They also revealed how Eimear's journey encouraged them to join the stem cell and bone marrow donor registry.

Eimear was diagnosed with stage two Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, in September 2016 and after finding a stem cell donor match, the Coolnasilla woman underwent a transplant in November 2018. She passed away on June 27, 2019 after complications.
