A truly touching story…
Love him or loathe him, Joe Brolly has been nothing short of inspirational when it comes to his tireless work promoting organ donation and transplants here in Ireland.
Much like a lot of us at this time of year, the Derryman was out enjoying some festive drinks with friends, when, in the Swilly Inn in Letterkenny, he snapped a photo of one particularly happy young man wearing a very fetching light-up Christmas jumper.
We’ll let Joe take it from here…

We’re sure you’ll be wishing plenty of family, friends and strangers “good health” this Christmas, but it’s important to remember that it really is a matter of life and death for a lot of people out there.
Have a great Christmas everyone, especially you in the Letterkenny light-up jumper…
