It is not often you'll see a bright pink horsebox driving around Belfast - but it's Sean Smyth's hope that he attracts the attention of as many people as possible, in memory of his daughter.
Eimear Smyth had stage two Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, a type of blood cancer, 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 - at the age of 25.
Remembered fondly by family and friends as a positive young woman with a love for donuts and coffee, Eimear's legacy has lived on through the charity Eimear's Wish. Her dying wish was for her family to let the world know she had beat cancer and that cancer didn't kill her, for her dad Sean to get as many people as possible to join the stem cell donor register in Northern Ireland and to raise some money for local charities. Sean has been fulfilling those wishes since the loss of his child.
