Legendary broadcaster Charlie Bird has handed two cheques totalling €3.3m to the Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association and Pieta following the unprecedented Climb with Charlie Campaign in an emotional ceremony today.
Climb With Charlie was an initiative set up by Charlie following his terminal diagnosis of motor neurone disease in November 2021 to help and show support for everyone who has to climb their own physical and mental mountains in their daily lives.
His plan was to climb Croagh Patrick on April 2 with some close friends and family, but the campaign immediately caught the Irish public’s imagination.
