At Newstalk, we are proud and delighted to once again support Wish Week with Make-A-Wish.

Ruairí and Fionn McDonnell were both diagnosed with the same rare and life-threatening neurological condition, and both were granted a wish by Make a Wish. Fionn’s condition was caught early and thankfully he is doing well after a long journey.

Sadly, Ruairi passed away in 2022, at the age of 9.

Ruairí and Fionn's mother Ruth, joins Pat Kenny to talk about the boy's wishes, and how she celebrates Ruairí's life.

Please help support Make-A-Wish in granting more wishes by heading to makeawish.ie/donate
