An Act Of Love

Described by the High Court President as one of the most remarkable witnesses to ever come before the courts, Marie Fleming, diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in her mid-thirties, became a household name with her trailblazing campaign and legal challenge for the right to die with dignity. Here, she tells the personal story behind the public face - from her young years growing up in Donegal, as she struggled to keep her family together after her mother left, to her battle as a teenager to hold on to her baby daughter, and her later quest for education and self-betterment against the odds.
