Charlie Bird has 'one thing left on bucket list' as he continues motor neurone disease battle

Legendary broadcaster Charlie Bird has said he has "one thing left" on his bucket list as he continues to battle with the debilitating impact of Motor Neurone Disease (MND).

The 73-year-old, who has campaigned tirelessly for MND since his 2021 diagnosis with his Climb for Charlie events, said the final bucket list item for him would be to meet American music icon Bruce Springsteen.

The New Jersey native, also 73, is due to play at the RDS Arena in Dublin three times between May 5-9.
