Belfast man plans weekend tribute event after death of young daughter

When Sean Smyth's daughter Eimear became poorly after a stem cell transplant, he made a promise to her that he'd keep her legacy alive.

The West Belfast woman died when she was just 25-years-old - she passed away on June 27, 2019 after complications with a stem cell transplant.

Following on from her death, Eimear's Wish was formed, an organisation with the sole purpose of carrying out Eimear's dying wish - to tell the world that she had beaten cancer and for her family to raise Stem Cell Donor Awareness in Northern Ireland.
