Pat
O'Connell
"For Fortitude in the Face of Grave
Illness"
That is the quote given to Pat O'Connell who received a People
of the year award in 1984 having raised over £500,000 for
cancer research. A wonderfully uplifting as this remarkable Killarney
man tells his moving story, losing his 28 year old sister Marie
to cancer in 1981, being diagnosed himself with cancer in 1977,
the tragic death of his brother Sean in a building accident in
New York, running in 22 marathons all
over the world to raise money for aid cancer treatment in Kerry
and Cork.
His first liver transplant which eventually failed, he then endured
the
trauma of a second liver transplant which saved his life. Pat
has run over
50,000 miles, equivalent to running twice around the world - "I
ran for my
life and someone else's". Pat tells Weeshie in this most
unique and touching
interviews. Surely one of the most amazing life stories one could
be
privileged to listen to.
Pat O'Connell - one of the few people in the world to survive
two liver
transplants and terrace talk is honored to bring to you his wonderful
story.
