Cancer campaigner Trina Cleary has passed away and in a final message to supporters urged them “to grab life by the balls”.
The mum-of-one, who was first diagnosed with breast cancer in 2018, tirelessly raised awareness about the disease and stressed the importance of early detection on Facebook and Instagram - along with her blog ‘A Day in the Life of Tri’.
The Wexford woman previously talked about how she didn’t want to live her life “scan to scan”.

Earlier this week, her family announced things had taken a “turn” and said Trina was back in palliative care and was being “kept comfortable”.
But in a pre-planned post on Wednesday, a picture of Trina was posted with angel wings with the caption: “Hello Beautiful People. If this is being posted then, my time on this earth has come to an end.
“Forever 38. I just wanted to leave a final message for all of you beautiful people who have raised me up, cheered me on, supported me, caught me when I fell down & just been there for me as friends from afar & near.”
The post continued: “I have one request, That is that you help my legacy live on. The first of the month - feel it on the first.
“Keep sharing my message. Keep spreading much needed awareness because you never know who is watching.
“Don’t let my memory or my story die. Live your life with no regrets. Tick off that life list. Make memories. Grab life by the balls. My body might be gone, but my soul lives on.
“If 11.11 wishes positives vibes & love could keep me here, I’d live forever.
“11.11 - make a wish … I’ll never be far away, just watch out for me.” She is survived by her husband Stuuy, son Corey and the rest of her heartbroken family.
