It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Shane Irwin.Shane was involved in a motor accident over the weekend and after a brave battle unfortunately succumbed to his injuries

Shane had a character that was infectious and a smile that would light a room.Anyone that was lucky enough to have spent time with him during his time in australia would give testament to this.

During this devastating time for his family both in Australia and at home in Ireland we would greatly appreciate any donations which will help make this difficult time a little less stressful and allow his family to grieve without additional stress

Any donation, big or small, would be greatly appreciated. The support and generosity shown during this heartbreaking time will help ease some of the pressures surrounding Shane’s passing and allow those closest to him to focus on remembering and celebrating the incredible person he was

a special mention to royal flying doctors Perth, royal intensive care unit Perth,Kevin bell repatriation trust and the Claddagh association who have been extremely helpful and the work they have all done has been commended by the Irwin family
