Helen Fennell had every gift but length of years. She was as kind as she was beautiful. She had poise and gentleness. She had a wicked sense of humour. She was wise and insightful well beyond her years. She was a great person to talk to and a great person to be silent with. She had style and taste and creativity. She was a marvellous cook – particularly of amazingly gooey chocolate desserts. She was hardworking and ambitious. She had a great gift for friendship.

But above all things she had courage that utterly humbled the rest of us.

Helen underwent a heart transplant in the Mater Hospital in 2014. She had a wonderful 8 months following the operation but passed away aged 18 at Christmas of that year having lived an utterly joyful life.

We are holding a concert as a celebration of Helen's life which talk show king and international star Graham Norton has very kindly agreed to host.

The show, Graham Norton and Friends - A Concert for Helen will take place on Sunday March 20th at 8pm in the Everyman Theatre, Cork.
