Personal

Donohoe was born on 3 March 1995 in Nhulunbuy, Northern Territory. In 2009, at the age of fourteen, he injured his right bicep/triceps as a result of his arm getting caught in a rope whilst trying to jump into a creek from a tree. This led to limited use in his right arm. He attended Xavier College. He lives in Brisbane, Australia.

Sports career

He took up competitive cycling in 2010 after participating in rugby union, BMX and triathlon. His love of cycling was an outcome from his time as a triathlete in Darwin, Northern Territory. He competes in both abled bodied and para-cycling. It was Michael Gallagher who after noticing Donohoe's deformed arm suggested that he consider para-cycling. In para-cycling, he is classified as C5. At the 2013, UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships, he won bronze medals in Men's Time Trial C5 and Men's Road Race C5. Competing at the 2014 UCI Para-cycling Track World Championships in Aguascaliente, Mexico, he won bronze medals in the Men's C5 1 km time Trial (1:03.788) and the Men's C-1-5 scratch race exhibition final.
