Tens of thousands of people are set to climb their local mountains today to support Charlie Bird’s Croagh Patrick climb – as he smashes his €1million goal.
Brave Charlie will scale the peak to drum up funds for the Motor Neurone Disease Association and Pieta House.
The 72-year-old, who was diagnosed with the condition, will begin his ascent after 9.30am and hopes to reach the summit around 1pm.
