What matters now by Gareth O’Callaghan

Gareth O’Callaghan is one of Irish radio’s most popular and familiar voices. In 2018, after receiving a life-changing diagnosis, he retired from fulltime work and give up the career in radio that he had loved for decades. Here, in this deeply personal memoir, he tells his story of love and hope. From the moments after his doctor uttered the words Multiple System Atrophy – a neurological disease that is both progressive and incurable, and ultimately carries a fatal prognosis – to how, drawing on inner reserves and determination, he pulled himself from the darkness to come to terms with a new way of living.
