I sat down with David to talk about his daughter, Lucia. He tells me that this is her story, not his, and that if she were here today she'd be the one chatting to us.

I've read Lucia's website and her blog, I've got a sense of who she was and David only confirms my impression of her. She was endlessly kind, gracious and compassionate. A young, vibrant and fun woman.

She was a recipient of multiple liver transplants in her short lifetime and in turn she dedicated her time and skills to campaigning for donor awareness.

She set up her website “Live Loudly, Donate Proudly” and encouraged people to have open conversations about organ donation. 

You can read her blog and stories here as well as updates now managed by her family.

Come back tomorrow for another podcast/story/portrait. We’re interviewing and photographing people from all over Ireland, collecting their stories and sharing them daily. You can be a part of it too, go to SinScealEile.com for more information.
