Fionntán McGarvey died tragically on the 20th January 2022. He was just 18 years old. We, as his family, will always be so proud of the beautiful son and brother we had for much too short a time. During life, Fionntán’s decision to join the Organ Donor Register meant that in death he gave the gift of life to two people in need. In Fionntán’s memory and reflecting his generosity of spirit, we, along with his family and friends are taking part in the Belfast City Marathon on the 1st May 2022, running in team relays or completing the 8-mile walk in support of ‘We Are Donors’, a charity we know would have been important to him. 

‘We Are Donors’ mission is to increase the number of organ and blood donors across the UK through student led education at schools and universities. They aim to ‘change minds about saving lives’. ‘We Are Donors’ has a network of sites throughout the UK, but currently there is no provision for this locally. Our aim is to raise funds for We Are Donors to support their ongoing work and to kick start this wonderful initiative within our community. 

Fionntán’s bright light continues to shine in our hearts and knowledge of his generous gift of life brings comfort to all who love and miss him, helping us smile again because Fionntán would like that. Live life and then give life. 

We ask that you give generously in support of ‘We are Donors’.
